some things that caught my eye at the LA Roadster Show

3 carbs, Navarro heads, Vertex mag, Moon fuel log... lots of great go fast stuff. Plus one thing I've never seen before, an Oberg tattle tale oil filter

one of the few cars that has had the year stickers piled on

great roadster, cool dash, and pinstriped upholstery. I've no idea why there are Mercury Dimes on the knobs unless that hints that there is some connection to Mercury parts on the car

On a roadsters shifter knob I saw this "Ford Rotunda" medallion... only one I've ever seen

The Ford Rotunda was built for the 1933 Worlds Fair in Chicago. After the fair closed, Ford had the Rotunda disassembled and moved to Dearborn, Michigan, where it took 18 months to rebuild on a site directly across from Ford Motor Company's Central Office Building,

 Constructed of a steel framework, over which Indiana Limestone was attached, the building resembled a stack of four gears, each decreasing in size toward the top. The Rotunda was the equivalent height of a ten story building, measured 210 feet at the base, and featured a center courtyard with a diameter of 92 feet.

Jesse Greening's 27 Roadster... cool rims, suspension, and guages

A Valley Custom from 1957... a 50 Ford Club Coupe
