One wheel trailer... the "Trailcar" by Allstate (division of Sears)

The above photo is thanks to Nik (who finds cool photos all the time) check out his blog at http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/

I never know where or when I will find something unusual or interesting, something I've never seen before... like a one wheel trailer. They are in demand by VW people I was told by this new owner, he'd just got if off ebay

That the wood and plate are in such amazing great original condition is astonishing, the major frame piece has been repainted, but the wood wasn't touched

The reason this doesn't fall over (like a person on a unicycle) is the from cross member that is bracing the side to side load ( it's the black part at the bottom of the photo below





The advert is from a JC Whitney like catalog that Randy let me scan, Warshawsky's http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Warshawsky

Intriguing variety of cool photographs on Le Container

Above, the Purple People Eater


Awesome photo, going vertical just a split second after lifting off the ground, that is power

Look close at the wheel hub and you'll see that the above is a VW


Clever use of wheels!


The above are just models

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
