Aerodynamic trucks and trailers

looks like a street car getting relocated

Sept 1949 Popular mechanics

Not sure what the above vehicle is

Kaiser factory that made aircraft

Ever see any racing Hudson Terraplanes before

What a great steering wheel, look slike it'a at a car show (from the I.D. board in the window)

This grill gets it.... the Hudson Terraplane hood ornament is not easy on the eyes... so this one has a Plymouth piece instead, and looks awesome

Tied for best looking design for instrument gauge cluster... with a single pod unit in the 1946 Nash https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4WYFny7uOJE4SZ6T4tSYBX2JpljJSFe1VddJi8XfrHrCe6p9RYfEqKLWPTm4z5SbYIgk1WqmHOIW1m3EyX-i12JTyPHPfCKEmnylfpjxapFe7durQWBBdi1kF3qozKIwzF3YiQHxPDhZ8/s1600/DSCN7564.jpg and another Plymouth instrument cluster https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyLwSJ3WpS9kK7CaMQB_estTI3PshlGTw3tshGaPEySCVydHfUkp-S245penqhPddthydLhUgQ3T4NJYpjMA7thwbbEHOtobdUwjH6H8JEkkKYeE3_SkufK6-OssujdgazptSM9RaRc3ZN/s1600/DSCN3782.JPG

1938 Hudson Super Terraplane, barn find... with the coolest dash and gauges

I dig the hood and grill chrome

It's got the most interesting shifter, but look just past that and see the oil pressure indicator... and it doesn't read numbers when not running, it simply says NO oil pressure... simple, straightforward, to the point. How did this not become the norm?

No oil pressure and not charging, I love it!

... the cool

Nothing cooler.

That is cool and rocking, I hope to use it someday

Two Terraplane nosed rods... is that a trend?

Sweet trailer combo

An Airflow for a shop car? Cool!

San Diego's auto swapmeet, "The Big 3" has a bit of everything... similar to a huge garage sale

A Schwinn Dragster 3 wheel tricycle. Go figure how they thought that naming a bike a dragster would be all it took to sell them.

Seeing one of these is interesting, but finding three? And notice two of them have the same fronts and hubcaps, but different lettering on the sides

Innovative way to keep the rotating mass organized!

Big variety of car and home radios

It's a Rumbler American... cool!

I'd love one of these for the garage!

Also see Tere's post... she took many more photos than I did. Through a wrong selection on her camera, many a darker than normal, but it made several turn out real cool. http://justacargal.blogspot.com/2009/02/big-3-auto-swap-meet-in-san-diego-feb.html
