Something totally new in car information boards for car shows. Cool?!?! You bet......... expensive? Guaranteed


It's very similar to a 1950's home movie projector screen in the way it rolls up out of the case.

It claims it's almost impossible to blow over... which makes sense, a heavy base with a big foot print wouldn't blow over easy.

18X36" Wide,  which is $275 plus $35 shipping. That is a hell of a lot for a display board, I figure about half of that would be allright, so I looked at what this company charges for the ordinary display boards... $185 for a 13" x 18". I don't know what other companies charge, but that is too expensive for me

Call it a Sony Playstation, and you won't be wrong... but it's the coolest hot rod way to demonstrate a video and audio entertainment system I've seen





 That is a cool way to get people to experience your video game player
That is a pretty cool way to connect your cell phone to your car stereo

the best rim displays at SEMA this year


this post was inspired by this photo of a similar display from last year, and Gresa from Kosovo who wants to build something similar to display rims in his tire and rim store. Gresa asked me to take photos of anything that stood out from the ordinary and got my attention. I'm not saying I can fufill all requests from readers, but I try.







when your display is limited to a rack, fitting the back of the rims with black cloth does a good job of replicating hte way the rims look on your car













1964 World's Fair display, Uniroyal Tire ferris wheel and Chrysler's Engineering Island





Chrysler's Pop-Art pavilion was one of the largest at the Fair and one of the most imaginative and fun places to visit. An over-sized engine, 55 feet high and 100 feet long with a dragon for a crank shaft stood on one island for the visitor to explore. Its Design Island was dominated by a giant car, 80 feet long from bumper to bumper. Its wheels were more than 20 feet high. Beneath the car, which sat seven feet off the ground, was an exhibit area in which visual displays stressed the company's automotive styling.

If you want to browse through the 1964 Worlds Fair, there is a website (First link below) that has some of the pavilions on an internet tour, and informs us of where some of the artifacts went after the fair was over and they have located a few interesting ones, like the Long Island Railroad Display (the front end of an engine the back half of a caboose) which is in the process of being restored
