Sunday's Show and Tell ...9/4/22

[Hastings]

A Friend on the lookout picked me up a ladies pierce i believe. Named her poncho cause of the lefty crank lol. Tbird is his he actually just finished rebuilding it. Lovely hot pink neon (actual neon) for the flea machine… it must really attract attention because Dennis Casey (guitar player from Flogging Molly) stopped in last weekend. Didn’t buy anything but had a nice chat and met his son. I saw them a lot when I was in high school. Had the chance to camp out in the flea machine at our friends land. My little girl absolutely loved it. Big week ahead baby boy turns 1, little girl has her first day of school and momma starts a new job. Wish us luck! Happy Sunday guys! Have a nice long weekend stay safe have fun.

Glad someone appreciated this. I couldn't resist. Lol! Since my Dad passed in November it's good to know she's still keeping an eye out for me! If you knew my proclivity of finding cool bikes/stuff for free or next to nothing you may have fallen harder. Cool that she had some Styx as that was my Dad's favorite since I got him hooked many years ago when they played the Olathe Sweet, Sweet Corn Festival. (all the vinyl is pristine) Really hoping she goes after that Stingray & let's me know....







Pretty cool some other '48 Whizzer stuff popped up this week!!

My G/F and I saw Styx in Winnipeg with April Wine about 3 years ago. A major blast from my past.

With exception of the glass reflectors, I bought this stuff over the last several months, but just posting now.
I needed a glass reflector for my 36 Whizzer rack. The original rattled off somewhere on a local ride. I needed one but ended up with four originals.

The hard-to-find TANKFIX Abfahrt (departure) KM meter was made in Germany in the early 1950's specifically for automobiles with no gas gauge like both my early VW busses.

NOS in box Whizzer Diecast
Captain Action Green Hornet and Kato outfits for my original Captain action figure. Made by Playing Mantis many years ago.
Batman Mobil VW bus Bat lab.

Last but not least, I finally located all four NOS in box 1:12 scale VW busses.
These are very large and heavy. Made by Sunstar over 10-15 years ago. Originally sold for $100 each but now change hands for $400-800 if you can find them in NOS condition. These are so detailed it is crazy. Removable hub caps lug nuts and tires, spare tire, opening doors, opening side door windows, operational door handles, steering wheel, removable seats, adjustable mirrors and wipers. comes complete with lug wrench and jack.

Mango green/Seagull gray
Palm green/Sand green
Sealing wax red/Chestnut brown
Dove blue

Arguably, Volkswagen had the best colors and color combos then any other car manufacturer of the era.

16" frame

16" frame

Yes I was gonna measure it to verify, the top of the seat tube looks like it could have been broken off and then holes drilled in the stays. No biggie. I’ll verify.

The small frames came like that! Just use long seat post
