I am currently in the process of doing a full renovation on a building in Santa Fe, New Mexico for an art gallery. Built in 1932 (with later additions), the building is adobe and was originally used a community grocery store. Over 3,000 square feet of concrete and wood floor where removed the past few weeks. One of the guys discovered this old bicycle fender in the soil! After the fender, for days I had visions of finding a discarded Indian or HD! But alas, the only thing good found was this batch of old discarded beer cans.

That's funny, we used to joke that we could date old masonry & stone walls by the style of beer cans & bottles found inside. For a while we would put Dunkin' donuts coffee cups in our walls.

I was actually dead set against a convertible. But the wife really liked this. All through our 34 years of marriage she never told me NO you can't buy that on anything. Soooo, she got her convertible.

I'm on my 3'rd or 4th convert,Always liked an open car

I picked up a few things within the last two weeks.

I had a good week.. Friday I ran across a yard sale and picked up this, what I'm thinking is a 1937 CWC built Hawthorne... It's in great shape and only missing the fender light and drop stand...

and this morning I hit the swapmeet and scored these 2 Mag wheels.. No marks on the black one, but looks newer with the reflector... The Webco-mag is super cool

I also bought this very rare 10 page logo bus brochure. Very rare in that, it is from the first few months of the VW bus production in 1950.

All the bus examples are the very first ever made which were all Panel buses in this1950 brochure.

Picked up this 1948 JC Higgins. Has working batwing headlight and rear rack with brake actuated lights. Also came with the original paperwork from March 1948. The man I bought it from got it from his uncle, who bought it new.
