1961 Rambler American that looks ready to race in a NASCAR type race

Ramona High School Auto Shop car show and open house

 I've never seen a Duster, Chevelle, and Nova lined up like this before, never seen that the tail section has nearly the same profile design

Pretty cool to have a Car Of The Year magazine on the dash of your car, that won the comparison for it's year.


Just above the magazine is a 3 outlet air duct mounted to the dash... very well done!

 Great upholstery

Snap On gives students half off? Wow... gotta find a student to bribe into purchasing for me if I ever get rich enough to afford Snap On tools at 50% of normal rates

the Rambler catalog of 1909 included pages of parts that you could order, in a very user friendly, organized way

 Look at the goofy flying wing looking front fenders in that bottom car. That's nuts

I would love to have these in 2x3foot posters for my garage, but even cooler would be similar photos of the parts and part numbers of the Mopar blow up drawings relevant to my 69 Coronet R/T, and coincidentally, I know that I have a full set, but in a catalog, and not blown up to the size I'd like. Not yet. Koller Dodge sold a catalog for the restoration parts business that they did on the side, their main business was new car sales.

Above a Bently barn find and below is a Rambler American

First cruise of the season in Escondido

Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra

Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well

Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's
