Happy New Year!

 

Suzuki GT250

 After the purposeful styling of the sixties T250s, the GT was a disappointment. Still worked great, but the Ram Air head probably wasn't needed and that is not an attractive colour.

 

Buick Roadmaster, 1953

 

Odd socket

 

No markings but it’s 13/16” so it’s probably a spark plug socket, the unusual part is that the other end is closed off and domed with 3 little holes like a salt shaker. There must be a reason for this design, but I don’t know what it is.

Airplanes in formation, Martin Mariner

 

Minimal cars, 1958

Better than walking, I suppose...

 

Monday Mysrery

I expect this is an engine-related tool… ideas?

Side car Christmas Sunday

 

 Oxford Street, London 1949

 

1960 Ferrari GP car cutaway

 The last front engine Ferrari GP car featured independent rear suspension and that for weight centralization, required the transaxle to be turned around so that the prop shaft passed on the driver's right thus angling the engine in that direction. This put the shifter on the left and reversing the shift pattern, making the drivers job a lot harder. The car only won one race in 1960.

 I cannot quite make out the artist's signature.

The serious business of reflective tape, 1967

 I didn't find that TV program but I expect it wasn't a lot different than this one.
