three dozen reasons to know you'll like looking through Go Away Garage blogspot

Above a WW2 Crosley 3 wheeler
Gas in the spark plugs... wow, that was a long time ago
I think the above is the supercharged straight eight
not good to see your back wheel pass you by

Steam powered lawn mowers.... your neighbors would freak out.

Great old vintage bike stand

They said it's photoshopped, but I don't care

They look like they are bolted to a bar under the bikes, probably a carnival ride



Above is a Willys or Graham I think

I'd never heard before that Oral Roberts (televangelist) had bought a Futurliner... huh

I know I have forgotten what I used to know about the above dragster.
1906 Stanley Steamer set the land speed record for steam powered cars at Ormand Beach, and that 126 mph record still stands. Steam was obsolete so quickly after Stanley and Doble perfected its use in cars, that no one even tried o break their record
Way cool Triumph gas tanks stringed art. I doubt it plays, but it does look incredible




Gyro stabilized car
Vespa in the back of a Citreon 2cv... awesome

Worlds largest Model A museum opens this summer

all-new Model A Ford Museum, proposed as a 12,000-square-foot re-creation of a vintage Ford dealership, is slated to open this summer on the Gilmore Car Museum campus.

When completed, it will become the world's largest public museum dedicated solely to the Model A Ford.

Built on 90 acres of farm land midway between Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, and Lansing, MI, the site includes eight historic barns, a re-created 1930s service station, a small town train station, and nearly three miles of paved roads. It isn’t uncommon for guest to catch a glimpse of one of the vintage cars or the authentic London double-decker bus in motion. Besides its own collection, the ever-expanding campus also serves as the home of the Classic Car Club of America Museum; the Pierce-Arrow Museum; the Franklin Collection at Hickory Corners; as well as the Midwest Miniatures Museum and the Tucker Historical Collection and Library.
