Sunday's Show and Tell ... 11/1/20

no bike stuff lately, but I did buy a new vehicle for carrying them. retiring my 200,000 mile GMC Sonoma (S-10) for a 70,000 mile 1998 Chevrolet Blazer. this vehicle was $26,000.00 new!!! my price was like 85% off sticker price. bought new by a little old lady, I am the second owner. even have the window sticker.

I never buy new cars, I only buy older low mileage cars like this.

4.3 V6 ! ZOOOM!

Couldn’t pass up this Hiawatha that was going to sit out for another Colorado winter.

Too lazy to look at the serial number, but I'm guessing 1957.

Super stoked to be the first new caretaker of this grail bike in the last 30 years! Can't hardly believe it! 1936 Colson Commander

Great pics and scores fellow Cabers!! I have a wide range of things I dig, so it gets nuts. Tin cars ( usually from Japan) from the 1950's/60's are no exception. One of my faves is the 1954 Chevrolet made by Line Mar Japan. I have owned several over many years, had to sell to buy more stuff, but currently have a nice original two tone black/grey one, and purchased a KILLER yellow and orange one this last week. It came from the Son of the original owner. The original window plastic had come loose over the years but were still with the car!!!, so I re-attached them and it's ready to roll!! Display....

I also bought a Dunlop "Cry Baby" wahh/wahh...pedal that's fun, had one back in the 70's. Also scored a NOS set of EA axle lights off Bad Bob Snyder from Ebay ( in the mail) and after seeing the fork Wiselock on Chris's Shelby in this post, had to pull the trigger on Ebay for a NOS one Bad Bob had for sale. Thanks Chris, I know you did a "good deed" buying your pals Shelby, but those pics cost me money...ha!! Oh well.....

My wild goose chase this week, after a 45 minute drive, was only to have the seller tell me “it’s gone, somebody must have stole it today”...argh. I suspect he got a better offer in the mean time, ...a**hole, just be honest with someone!
Then I came across this set of Schwinn grips

on some rust bent bars in a scrap pile that were absolutely petrified. Had to keep them just to try and preserve them for the hell of it.

Thanks Chad, you just had to outdo me!!! Now that makes my Hiawatha look like a girls bike in comparison. Great Bike! Great find!!

Looks like the chicken I left on the Bar-bee too long on Wednesday night. ( too many beers with my son after celebrating they are having a baby/ then multi tasking on the stove too!!) Now that's Patina. Do I see the image of the baby Jesus in the top one? These could be a BIG payout on Feebay!! That grilled cheese sandwich with Jesus image/oops it was the Virgin Mary...... went for top dollar years ago. $28,000.00

To be "politically correct ( hard for me?) I mean no disrespect to Christians or Cheese companies, bread companies, dentists, Tattoo artists, redheads, Kat, or anyone else who may find my humour offensive. Hey, I gotta laugh at life, better than stressing. Cheers! Bob
