It was just a regular grind week until this chrome '64/'65 Spaceliner literally rolled in the front door! This town is pretty creepy but it gets even more so as Halloween approaches, and this particular guys displays are not to miss! I keep finding sealed snacks on my ride home, those will be good for later but first... Last night for Dairy Joy before they close for the season :(

I have picked these pinewood derby cars up over the years. I like the unique ones but this is the most unique I have seen. It measures in at 16" inches. Weighted at the bottom. I have never seen one this large. Maybe from a adult league from back in the day?????

I spent the weekend in Denton NC at the AMCA Southern Nationals where I was showing my ‘57 Sportster. It scored a 98 1/2 points and earned its Senior award. I also ran into my good friend Todd who gifted me a mix of original and repo literature to include a complete copy of the 1920 Indian bicycle catalog. V/r Shawn

Got my fully restored Eco Meter from a guy out in eastern Canada that specializes in restoring these, mounted it in my outer Man Cave ( garage) and will hook up the air in the Spring. Fond memories of filling up bicycle tires and vintage car tires at the "service stations" back in the day. If I recall, last one I saw was "modern" ( at a 7-ll?) and cost a dollar to get air!

I took delivery of another Krate this week. A fully restored Grey Ghost disc. All correct frame/'71 parts except repro seat and tires. I quickly added brake lever covers and flagged valve caps, a correct Huret speedo and drive/cable, and lucked into a nice color match ( in my opinion) 1970 local plate yesterday. If I can nail the correct plate by year, it's a bonus, but color and close year count for plenty with me.

I got back into collecting vintage toy outboards like I did back in the '90's. Note "Wamo" wheelie bar T-shirt on the photographer! I have another stand in the mail. The stand is a well done repro of the originals that would be at retail/hobby stores/push button/motor runs/prop spins and light comes on. More motors coming. I remember my kids ( now 31 and 24) especially Son age 31 loving to push the buttons and make them run as a fun action. Before cell phones!! Ha! Kids played with toys!
