    100_2022

    Kyle's Camaro wasn't the only one there...this was an '80, not a Berlinetta, a standard one. They said it originally had a V-6. They had gone through the interior and repainted it, installed a 350 in it...

    this is a 1921 American LaFrance  ladder truck. The tires are specially made, 40" diameter rims...you have to see it to get the perspective... Kyle's rear tires would fit inside the rim of these...

    Olds Cutlass 4-4-2 convertible...

    100_1950

     This 1914 Model T won 1st place in the early-early category, it used an acetylene tank of gas to run the headlamps, you unhinged the lenses, turned on the gas and lit the lamps. Acetylene tank is on the running board... The little coach lights by the dash run on kerosene... the speedometer is driven off the right front wheel... no electric starter, hand crank, with its own leather storage pouch. To get it started in the winter, you drained the oil out of the crankcase, brought it in the house and warmed it on the woodstove, then poured it back into the engine....you had to manually advance/retard the timing or "spark", with a lever on the steering column, and you set the speed there too, like a tractor...the gas tank sat behind the rear seat, no fuel pump, it was gravity feed. When you were low on gas and going up a steep hill, it would run out of gas. So you coasted back down the hill, got it primed and started, then backed up the hill so the tank would be higher than the engine...
