Sunday, November 13, 2022 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Part 5 -- Pontiac Accessory Kit

Supposed to contain a small air compressor

 

Monday, November 14, 2022 - Manhattan Beach Pier



 

Best tailgate of all time - magic...




 

Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 10


Nice wheel covers.


Like both the badge and the radiator cap.

Would like to have one of these grilles.

Sunday, November 13, 2022 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Part 4 -- Grouping of small items


 

Saturday, November 12, 2022 - Marina Del Rey - coming back into the marina...



 

Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 9


Nice rear reflectors.
The brake lamps nearly disappear in the space next to the license plate...

The high mount turn indicators are very cool...

The Bugatti steering wheel and gauges are much less attractive than the Italian version of it's contemporaries (Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Lancia).

Gaggle of SMs.

Sunday, November 13, 2022 -- Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- Part 3 -- Very Large Wrench

Very dirty.
Needs a good cleaning.

No idea what it was designed for.


Slightly larger than 3.5 inches (probably closer to 3.6 inches at the opening).
Could be slightly bent or made that way on purpose...

Not heard of this brand before...

Can't quite make out the numbers/markings.
Perhaps after cleaning it will be more legible...



 

Saturday, November 12, 2022 - Marina Del Rey - Ballona Creek Bridge

Lots of people on the bike path and around the bridge.


The large gate at the jetty is open.
It's rarely open.
I can recall only a couple of times (ever!) seeing the gate open.



 

Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 8

Don't have a single spoke steering wheel in my collection...


The hood badge/handle reminds me of the one on the Porsche 356C...

Like how boxy this Peugeot is...
