You see something strange every day on the freeways...

I just love that I snapped the last shot, in perfect focus, right when he flashed a wha Hoo sign, and grinned in triumph as he looked my way to receive attention for his odd front end suspension. Good for you man, right on.

For every object, there is a collector... this guy is hooked on vintage street lights

Joe Maurath's collection focuses on streetlights and insulators, but he's also got high voltage signs, switches, and police call boxes. Movie companies rent them from time to time to use in period films. http://www.vintagestreetlights.com/  and click on My Collection (5th link on the left down) but the photos are small and about useless to see the collection. A few photos of sinle lights are allright. 

Very early 20's ? Chrysler with a strange VIN plate I have never come across before... I love this hobby, always finding interesting cool new things

 Ever seen one like this before?

The Mel Brooks "Spaceballs" movie hovercraft

In the Justice Brothers Museum, 2nd building

One of 5 specially constructed 1929 boattail roadster Essex, by Hudson, coachbuilt by Biddle and Smart... all to make the Essex regional (5 regions got 1 each) sales increase when customers learned what a great car Essex made.

 now... why is the bottom line in a language obviously not on an original factory tag?

 I noticed that the top of this fuel apparatus says Vacuum Gasoline System

 what an exquisite instrument panel

 How the running board rubber mat has remained in such incredible condition is a mystery, could anyone be reproducing such a small sales item? Who could possibly buy enough of these to make a company produce them for profit?

 Odd that the kick plate is not one the running board, but keeps feet from damaging the alloy (which I think means Aluminum) custom handmade bodywork

this is only the 2nd Essex I've ever seen in San Diego

here's a cool mod to a bug with no air conditioning.. front hinged windshield

 the fender mounted side mirrors are a nice touch too

and that it's a right hand drive is also unusual... and cool

interesting things I couldn't resist sharing, from Bugstock 2012

 wow, luggage turned into an audio video mobile/portable/removeable case... cool!

even a Von Dutch touch

Ummm, good sense of humor? No, commentors Fred and TouringBubble said this was a factory transmission, VW automatic stickshift, when you pushed down on the shift lever the clutch engaged, you still had to shift, just without the foot clutch

Roth above, and blowing my mind, this Roth decal was on another car... when was the last time you've seen a real Roth decal?

Dealership plates? WTH?

What is with the stand up area? They were factory accordian style expandables
