Shelby Series 1, lest we forget



full gallery at http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/06/shelby-series-1-first-production-car.html

I was just reminded this week that I haven't seen another Shelby Series 1 since 2007.

Supercharged Oldsmobile Aurora engine good for 400 hp, were put into about 50 of the approx 250 made. Since this Shelby car wasn't based on an already existing car (AC cars, Dodge stuff, Ford stuff) is it the only Shelby car that went into production? I think so

Pat Clancy's unique 6 wheeled Indy race car, the only 6 wheeler to ever race at Indy


In 1948, at the Indianapolis 500, a six-wheeled car built by Pat Clancy, and driven by Billy DeVore powered its way to 12th position overall. The four rear wheels of the car were driven by two axles connected by a universal joint. The six-wheel Indy car only lasted one race, in 1949 it was converted back to a conventional 4-wheel racer. It remains the only six-wheel car to ever race at the Indianapolis 500

1915 Franklin series 8






the box above the running board was well designed, and the lid tight fitting. On the drivers side is the tool box and on the passenger side a battery


an interesting lever arrangement, and you probably haven't seen one before... as you probably haven't seen an air cooled old motor before. Franklins were one of the few, and the best known air cooled engines, as it made them great for airplane motors too...





I like the simple double clamp arrangement of the windshields




A very original sidecar... I doubt anyone has ever made one look like an rv trailer before


Found on Facebook somewhere a couple weeks ago
