Metal Of Honor... duece made of donated new parts to assemble an homage to the US military that have been awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor, and signed by 46 living recipients

If you look under the duece, you'll see that it's parked on grass. Indoors. I've never heard of any booth having turf brought in... it's awesome. Great idea, terrific execution, and appreciated by the people stopping by to admire the car. No dirt was getting carried onto the surrounding carpet either.








the military footlockers and field desk were very cool too

great display


 Awesome military interior pieces, the ammo can for an armrest, the canvas courier bags for door pockets, duffel bag in the passenger footwell, and the gauges are superior to any I've seen that try for the military look, but go too far and use aircraft gauges. These are perfect... they have the look, and function, that people have tried for, but failed to achieve

  Above, I was photographing the steering gear. I haven't seen an adapter like this before

if this car sounds familiar, it's because I posted a bit about this last year http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/best-cause-for-donating-parts-and-time.html

Thanks to Chuck Caswell, Emperor until he retires... he says after retirement he'll be a sultan (I could be mistaken, he may have said maharajah)

Some cool, some unusual, a couple Hollywood stars even... all with motorcycles, bicycles, brass era cars too. Even a photo of Bonneville

Those wonderful 3 Stooges, the bike is a Crocker Scoutabout 1941
This is something I've never seen



Notice the old spelling of "Authorised"  and the Zephyr V12




Halfway from the original sidecars that were designed to be riden in, to the flat pads that are used for racing
The above pennyfarthing has that unusual design of the Star Safety http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/racer-a-zimmerman-and-his-star-safety.html , and is in clear contrast to the below common design





1930 Bohmerland 600


someone really wants that motorcycle in the country

The first big dog motorcycle?
1910, the first chopper? Probably

Canoe sidecar
A dual rear mount sidecar
Charles Lindbergh on an Excelsior

English tricar





How long do you suppose he had those stupid handlebars before someone laughed at him?






Fire truck... not the first I've posted, but the better of the two
