Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 4
The Traction Avant has this piece at the bottom of the grille.
It looks like something where if you cut out the center of the piece, a hand crank could be inserted to hand start the engine...
The stuff behind the grille looks like an extension of the transmission?
Cool headlamp pod on the TA.
Don't see these on the roads anymore.
Might have been the last model sold here before Peugeot left the US Market.
Don't think I've seen this "trunk" accessory(?) before.
Looks like it can hold quite a lot of stuff...
Like the fog/driving lamp pods...
Saturday, October 22, 2022 -- Fall Fling Mopar @ Woodley Park -- Part 18 - Proto - Plomb Tool Co. 7/16" - 3/8" Open End Wrench
Before some cleaning.
After some light cleaning...
Not exactly sure how long or for which tools, but for a very short time, when PLOMB was changing name to PROTO, they marked some wrenches with both names, using the original PLOMB script with the letter O as vertical triangles that look kinda like a plumb-bob...

The seller with the steering wheels also had these.
DS dash
Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- Model T swap meet & show in Chatsworth -- Part 5
Great patina...
Like that it kept the fenders and running board.
Needs a windshield though...
Original roadster body on an original frame (not channeled).
The Trompers are out of Eagle Rock.
The club may still be active...
Saturday, November 5, 2022 -- Breakfast
Had breakfast with MB at this place (Toast) in Ferndale.
Had a little time to kill before meeting BS for lunch (in Troy).
MB and I walked over to some interesting shops near Toast.
One place was a bunch of small shops within a large building.
This guy (Joe) makes there interesting kinda "steampunk-ish" stuff.
Mostly lamps but some Bluetooth speakers.
The stuff that incorporates into the products is interesting (some automotive, plumbing, industrial, etc.)
Had a nice chat about old "junk" but had to cut it short to make it for lunch in Troy...
Had a long lunch with BS (nearly 4 hours in the restaurant!), catching up & talking cars.
Waiting to take off from DTW to LAX.
Just started raining...
Was very lucky with the weather in the Detroit area. Warm and no rain.
But, it was pretty grey the whole time though (no sun) as usual.
I remember the dreary grey lasting for at least half the year (winter) when I lived in Michigan (mostly 1987~1989)...
