1911 Hispano Suiza "Alphonso XIII" 45 CR Voiturette, a race car with patina that has cracked in the past 100 years

Johnny Vegas made the most incredibly realistic looking faux patina on a 33 ford, with Cumberland paints, and they call it the Barn Find

the door jambs were still original paint, and it was in absolutely amazing condition, and a true barn find.

Johnny is pretty damn good at getting and selling barn finds, check out this 1941 Buick Estate Woodie, one of 16 known to exist... he found it and has sold it already, but it had been stored since 1958

here is a full gallery of it http://hispeedcustoms.com/IMAGES/CARS/1941%20Buick%20Woodie/index.htm

but go look through the other cars he has for sale http://hispeedcustoms.com/forsale.html and you'll find the stablemate 1933 Ford Woodie for 45 thousand doallars that Johnny also has among his many cars for sale in Tucson

Quick look at the upcoming awesome cars I'm going to post galleries about in the next couple weeks

New York streetcars from decades ago, among the warehouses along the waterfront

notice the 150 year old (or so) warehouses that were built to last, and with full hurrucane shutters... amazing. The streetcars still have the power lines above them, and with so many open windows they surely won't last for asvmany more years as they've had, before the weather just detriorates them from the inside out. The last of their kind? Probably, can you imaging any others that were saved from scrap, allowed to keep their peice of track, and weren't buearacratically removed from public enjoyment? I suppose very very few people looking at them feel any nostalgia, and maybe I'm one of a handful that is glad they are still around just to look at.

Via an awesome website that focuses on New York City historical bits of architecture and history that is everywhere but seldom noticed, like gargoyes, statuary on buldings (even in Times Square) and is all noticed and posted by a wonderful writer who swears very well at the destruction of the cool old buildings that developers are quickly making disappear to be replaced with glass and steel nondescript high rise condos.

http://www.scoutingny.com/?p=12 has these street cars and his jaunt to a neighborhood called Red Hook, where the warehouses are great, and their is a perfect front view of the Statue of Liberty

"East Side" Richard found a treasure trove, here's just one

See the awesome find on East Side Mike's : http://backstreetwheels.blogspot.com/

Cool hot rods at Goodguys

I dig the out of proportion engine

Beautiful air filter chrome caps... just nails that show and shine idea

Nice steering wheel and presentation of the seat belts

I'm smailing over all the cool stuff on this above rod, the hub cap over the air filter housing, the horns in front of the radiator, and the dead end sign on the roof. Wow, way cool!
