WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE

WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE.

SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME TO FIND A GREAT CAR, SOME FIND IT WHEN THEY ARE A TEEN, AND WAIT A LIFETIME TO WON IT. MARK WAS A FORTUNATE RARITY, HE GOT BOTH THE CAR HE DESIRED 30ISH YEARS AGO, AND IT'S A BARNFIND 1969 GT 500 SHELBY MUSTANG

Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office.

the funny stuff from the great variety at Parkoffka.ru


Parents should use this in the car they loan to the kids


Seriously? How much pot did these guys smoke to get the munchies, find that it was to late to get into the taco bell, and only the drive through was open?






Pretty clever, I wonder if other muppet and sesame street characters are as easy to make helmets into?








just a small sample of the good funny stuff at http://parkoffka.ru

Ken Hubbard brought his 1935 DeSoto Airflow to the Ventura Nats... what a beautiful car



 here is another example of beautifulo gauges, and a rare example of the center speedometer and reversible panels in front of the driver or passenger so export cars could be have the gauges put in front of the driver easily, regardless of the cars desination

coachbuilt Packards at the Dana Point Concours de Elegance





 in the middle of the gauge above, on the left it says "Park" and on the right "City" ... and in the below photo on the far right the gauge has "Drive" and "Pass"

I've never noticed anything like that before. Also unusual is the radio, it's the middle gauge. I don't recall ever seeing a radio that fits into the look of the other gauges so well.

1920 Mercer Raceabout ( Not many Mercers at car shows... glad to find one!)






 as unusual as the speedometer is, the shifter below with it's shift pattern on the bell... that is something I've never seen another like



 two spares... because when these 20's cars were on the roads, they had to share the roads with horses that were always dropping horse shoe nails
