Air Cooled Franklin & The Surfers

 

Saturday, January 21, 2023 -- Glendale Toy show -- Part 1

This guy had some nice stuff in mint condition.
He said that some of it was from when he was a child & that he received them as gifts.

Hard to imagine that a kid didn't play with and damaged this stuff at all all these years (60+ years).

The show was as busy as it used to be before Covid.

Very few people wearing masks.

Very large remote control wooden boat.

 

Realm 3.5" Wrench

 

P4, Type 35, Saddle Bags & Alfa

Ferrari P4 from scratch

Modern V12

From horses to motorcycles to a Bentley

Very large drum brakes

Possibly the best greenhouse of all time...

 

1955 Cooper Bristol - T40

Cross-Leaf Spring suspension (front & rear) based on Fiat Topolino design.

It's one of the most simple independent suspension designs of all time.

The leaf spring accts as the upper control arm also.

Notice the wrenches on the ground...

The frame is relatively simple and elegant.

Notice the aluminum bodywork being fabricated in the background.
