Great idea for an instant pop up parking sign

Barstool racers

Tribute to Barney Oldfield's Golden Submarine http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/barney-oldfield-and-golden-submarine.html

A couple of woodys I've never seen before, a 1921 Renault and a Goggomobile

A couple of guys have commented that the red car is a Bantam, but it isn't. It's a Goggomobile.
And the source of that info is from the source of the photos, Caradisiac http://www.forum-auto.com/automobiles-mythiques-exception/section5/sujet225087-3780.htm

Hugh Chisholm's 1934 woody, more than one US President are connected to it and Hugh Chisholm... because he also had a 243' yacht in the DC area

Hugh was very very rich, and had a very very big yacht built... so nice that when the Presidential yacht USS Potomac was deemed unfit for open water duty, the US Navy decided the next best yacht (or the best, as we just read that the Potomac wasn't in good condition) was Hugh's private yacht that had been custom built for him by the Bath Iron Works (same shipyard that built submarines for the US Navy)


" President Truman spent more time aboard than any president spent on a presidential yacht "

woody before and after restoration

The things that caught my eye at Wavecrest 2010 (biggest woody car show on the Pacific coast)

I saw the multicolored background and shifted focus as interesting as photo composition and contrast

great hood prop idea, only for a woody

That is a whole lotta car

The clean and shiny paint on the dash in contrast to the chrome make a good impression

That is some beautiful chrome on the above hood ornament

I've never noticed the Plymouth ship design on a taillight before

I don't recall seeing a VW woody before... this one looks cool!

Beautiful multicolor flames

A new and unusual way to pattern the wood on the sides and back
