And for those serious Flathead guys.

A couple more Flatheads with conversions, the familiar Ardun and a lesser known "Tornado".

Another Flathead conversion that I hadn't seen before. And it's a true hemi!

A couple random shots.

This was Edsel Fords "hot rod". It has a 6 cylinder engine and at that time Ford didn't manufacture any 6 cylinders.. Edsel wanted them to but Henry wouldn't hear of it.

This one has the boat tail rear body, tires have no tread, and there's more gauges in it that most cars of the day.

Can you tell by now that I am a huge Riley fan?!?!?!

Some more random shots and a bit more from HAL .

Anyone ever see this one before?

Here's a real survivor!

And another survivor. The museum was given this as long as they promised to display it in the state/ condition that Bill found it! Can you imagine bombing around the Midwest in this setup?!?! The truck has the same engine as the racer, hi-compression heads and all! I figure it was their backup motor for the race car

Almost to the end.. here's one you don't see everyday! Since they didn't have to pay Petty, they had enough money to go Indy racing???

Some more random shots. The doors to the "garages" are reportedly the original doors from the Indy motor speedway.

The all aluminum motor is from the Aurora.. remember that one?

And a Mouse DOHC SBC

The 2 racers... just beautiful!

And these are the last... my camera battery died and I got no other pics...

So here's the other Steadybreaker.. I mean Studebaker!

And a Chevy... kind of...

Hope you enjoyed it all.. Hope I wasn't a bore! It was fun sharing it all with you.

Crikey!
That was awesome!
Thanks for sharing...much appreciated.

Loved the story about the pedal car...and how the fella had kept it for seventy years.

(Hell, I'm about as bad! I've got toys up in my shed I've kept for sixty years!)

Thanks for the reply JB... some of the pedal cars were extremely old and the mechanisms were very intricate and complicated. The boy and his car - that "car" cost almost as much as the real deal! It was really more like the salesmen sample. A different time / era to be sure!

I don't remember seeing any pedal school bus!
