Ingenious luggage or storage accessory... the Tire Trunk by Wohlfeld

the 1908 and 1909 Franklin catalog art and examples of models.

Flip up steering wheel was found on a barn wall, NOS, in pristine condition... designed to allow fat guys to get into a model T, the Tiltlok


That wood is in the best condition of any old steering wheel I've ever seen...

Found this one at the LA Roadster Show, just like last year when I found a different one

factory side mirrors with the extra mini convex mirror built in. Great idea, why aren't they on all new cars?

this is on a Traverse, a GM vehicle, but these don't come on all new GM vehicles. They should.

How many damn cupholders does a passenger need? The Chrysler Town and Country for example has too many, but a brilliant armrest/console design

Above you can se the regular position, up front for the center console and drivers cupholder use
Ah HA! Do the drivers of Town and Country vans really need two more cupholders?
So this has three parts on slides, and comes right back to the passengers. That is a damn cool center console designed with more storage, 3 layers, and mobility to slide to the back in 2 stages


But look at the way the 2nd row passengers get this cupholder slid back to them... cool.
Look even further and see a cupholder in the sidedoor... now why does each passenger need two cup holders? The people in front have the holders under the radio, the ones in their doors, and then the center console can either be for them, or the 2nd row people who also have door cupholders

Flip up steering wheel on a model T... I finally found another!



great to come across such a rare old aftermarket gizmo.. I'm amazed that I've seen one before

Coolest damn thing you'll see all week. 1913 Harley, heavily optioned,TANDEM !, unrestored, with a quick history and instructions how to start it. WOW


the bike's options are discussed for the first 5 minutes, then the bike is started up and the procedure is wonderfully demonstrated, step by step. (starts at minute 5:30)
Thanks Mike! This is great!

A big bug screen


Speedometer I've never come across before, a windspeed indicator mounted to the hood trim on a 40's Chevrolet




I bet it works as a bug deflector like the green one I photographed as well as a speedometer
