Some tin car action this week for me. A very cool tin 1966 Buick Riviera, Asakusa Japan, 16" ( missing the controller, but it still works/bump and go) with OG styro clamshell factory inner package. I also got a couple more Fiats with the spring loaded fabric roofs, amazing mechanism. Tops down on the '56 Ford Sunliners, tops up on the 50's Fiat 600's. Nutty Mad Indian with War Whoop arrived from the UK this week ( I used to own one) is just a great non politicallly correct ( there is too much sugar coating these days, it's a fun toy, get over it) battery op that makes me laugh. No different than a drunk Sailor or blushing white Willie bar tender, it's all what was light hearted toys in the 50's/60's.

Spent the week moving bikes back into the basement. My back is killing me. After moving the last bike I had a moment of clarity. I have too many bike! Hopefully this condition will fade away as time passes.

I swear sometimes i feel like the king of patience. Lol
Been after this bike for nearly 3 years now and the time came yesterday and its finally mine!
One repaint over original but flaking off to show beautiful original pins. No stripped hardware, no abuse, pedals spin like new. Glue-on chain treads show very little wear. Grips uncracked, seat is an 8 out of 10.
Weird handlebars but they have character!
Metal clad wood wheels are straight as an arrow.
One owner indoor kept Michigan City Excelsior DeLuxe

Thought this was kind of cool i didnt notice before now. The “chain treads” on this bike are “war tire” stamped.
