is it metric vs standard, 12 point vs 6, Snap On vs Craftsman? Photo by Bruce WennerstromFree PRoTO tool set by getting subscriptions to Hot Rod magazine, 1967
That tool box might look familiar, I just found one and posted a photo of it: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/professional-tools-which-were-plvmb.html
A bit of this and that from here and there, can't recall where I found all of them
Robert Williams (kulture artist) had one impressive collection of German WW1 helmets Via: MC Art
Lettered in the Von Dutch style of obvious humor... love it! From Mr Jalopy
1908 Indian Torpedo Tank Racer
This image was on Pixdaus, but i don't recognize the car maker. What struck me as worthy of posting was the winch, bolted on front bumper and rope... why?
I love this funky can and bottle opener
1947 Salibury from MC Art
1965 Austin Mini Wildgoose Dear Santa, I know where you can find my xmas presents
Here are close ups, the full image is last, and even bigger after the link

Isn't this the coolest rolling toolbox / racetrack seating you'll ever want?
Just check out those screens! The top of the counter is for laptops etc... the seat has a flip up back rest
And best of all... it raises up on a scissor lift!

but the most amazing tool box you'll ever see: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiEaUGAn_OeQSaGwH3Zcv_52gSafxR8bACAjgyQ6ePQsuRjpN6R1Jl0Ve6nJoEVOChWcKmJnGQOBXLcbT0Kj7KTFjajTlrcJGVTxbmDsu_U0_3m2sCQ7vYat4l0yvLG2AiLo-XpB4KtaoZ/s1600-h/Studley_1280x1024.jpg from 100 years ago when a piano master crafter decided to put all his tools in a custom toolbox that he made from spare bits of piano materials like ivory, ebony, rosewood, mahogany and mother of pearl - refining it over the course of a 30-year career. It was in the Smithsonian for a while
Cool stuff that caught my attention at SEMA
If you aren't familiar, this is a Rolling Bones custom. They are well known by name for making fantastic customs
I've been hoping to photograph this Barris emblem for a couple years 
One of the cooloest displayed vehicles, because it shows purpose captured, and brought into the diplay. Not the inferred power of the engine, or stopping ability of the brakes, but the mud that this takes on when playing outdoors in rough sloppy conditions.. awesome! My Compliments!
Love Moon eyes and pinstriping, had to share these
The pink and blue were great for photos
The lack of chrome, and the great contrasting colors nailed a terrific look here.
Best engine grill I've seen yet
Just put the skis on for snow, the tires for sand.
Great tool boxes!
Notice the flip up and flip down socket tray... awesome!
Pink Taco, a company that is using the free publicity of the phrase to grab attention. They couldn't get the naming rights to their local sports arena though.
Nice! I've posted a couple photos before about the radial engine chopper, but none I've taken.. so I had to get up close and admire this in person
Sorry about the lousy lighting and terrible colors.
I'd like to have seen this creation with 4 wheels, but I guess this gets those Dyna Pack boxes in front of people, even if no one was asking why they were there
ARP display booth, and they are putting about 60-80 pounds of boost to this mini engine, that's how strong the head bolts are!
Cool!
Great product, wish I could do this to the garage walls!
Damn good idea

I'd love this if I were 4 or 5
Above: the phrase "runs like a raped ape" immediately came to mind
Love the grill and connected headlights
The Parnelli Jones, Bud Moore Boss 302
Above: Beautiful airbrushing
A tire standing dragster will stop all passers by. 
Above: Useless and stupidly glam stuff to stick on the hoods of trucks and cars is becoming ghetto fabulous all over souther california, don't do it... just let this fad die already.
Battery powered freezers and fridges, and why couldn't a big solar array and battery bank power one of these for a hunting cabin off the electric grid?
Stunning truck, but lousy lighting that couldn't have been worse for taking photos in a dim area of the convention hall.
All very coppery
The DNA chain effect of the stand caught my attention, very well thought out.
Above: Has anyone figured out that no one is going to 4x4 into the great wilderness and then play the video games when they could have stayed home and enjoyed the livingroom they've lavishly furnished with high end video and audio? If they can waste the money on this vehicle, they've already blown 10-30 thou on the home theater and video games.
Two inch lift kit available for the Smart Car
The airbrushed cooler caught my attention, and then the black and white spare tire rim kept it
How much traction is a lightweight snowmobile going to have? The snow that gets pushed in front of a plow can get heavy enough to make the vehicle use traction.. that's why most all plow trucks are 4 wheel drive or dualies.
This tire design isn't entirely new, I've posted many photos of Model T's from the 1910's and 1920's with similar cross drilled solid rubber tires, these are certainly more advanced and softer, but will they corner at least as good as the lousy old bias ply tires of the 60's? Can they compare with a normal radial?
Above: What an unusual interior look, monochrome and hard floor... I don't think I've ever seen a finished plastic/fiberglass floor in a vehicle before
All these people were waiting to get an autograph from whoever drives the car int he center of the photo below.
