Ford wrenches





What's wrong with this picture?




Plomb wrench 1214, Snap-on Wrench & Plomb 3/8" breaker bar








Manhattan Beach Pier - June 18, 2015 (Thursday)


The girl (guessing in her early teens...) on the wrong side of the pier railing was contemplating jumping off the pier to the sand below.  It's about 15 feet, I'm guessing.  Her friends down below were asking her not to...  Good chance for breaking a leg but probably won't kill her...  The immortality of youth...  This went on for awhile.  I left, so don't know...

Plomb Combination Wrench & 1/2 inch Ratchet (Pebble Finish)




Orginal Movie Posters - purchased a couple of months ago at the Culver City Car Show from George Barris's Son

This car show is held in downtown Culver City (almost walking distance) annually & is "headlined" by George Barris.  Mostly a typical car show except this year George Barris's son had a booth selling off "leftover" stuff.  The usual T-shirts, books, etc.  But, there was a couple of beat up boxes of posters (some rolled up and some folded) for sale.  They are original posters for display at movie theater lobbies.  (about 41 inches tall)  All the ones I bought were folded & in decent condition.  

I don't know much about George Barris the person (other than what's commonly known about his work).

In total, I bought about 10 posters (some duplicates).

I'm guessing that they had these posters because George worked on transportation related props for these movies...











Marina Del Rey - June 16, 2015 (Tuesday)






Corvair Monza Glove Box Door (wrinkle finish paint), Utility Pouch, 1951 Cadillac Steering Wheel Center "button," & Citroen H Van model


Below are pictures of what the car & the interior looks like.
This is one of my favorite GM exterior designs...




Supposed to have a clear dome that goes over this steering wheel center emblem...
