Auburn
Auburn automobiles were produced from 1900 to 1937 which were fast, good-looking and expensive. However, after the 1929 Wall Street Crash, and the economic downturn that ensued, the vehicle business halted in 1937 and Auburn started to produce a line of kitchen cabinets and sinks, to keep the company afloat. wikipedia

Audi at Road America
I took a ride
Man in green shirt owned the car and when I took the photo he asked if I wanted a ride around Havana. We climbed in with him in the back seat and other fellow drove. He explained he'd lost his license due to drunk driving so his friend drove. Car was beautiful but only ran and stayed together with car love.

Riverside Special
The 'Riverside Special' was built in Appleton WI in 1932 to compete in the Indy 500. Race rules required a seat for a driver and mechanic. As a daily driver it was well known in town for outrunning the local Police. I took this last summer at the annual gathering of old Indy 500 racers at the Milwaukee Mile track.

Allard J2 1950-1952
Allard Motor Company Limited was a London-based low-volume car manufacturer founded in 1945. Car manufacture almost ceased within a decade. It produced approximately 1900 cars before it became insolvent and ceased trading in 1958. During those years it was a very accomplished racer.
Allards featured large American V8 engines in a light British chassis and body, giving a high power-to-weight ratio and foreshadowing the Sunbeam Tiger and AC Cobra of the early 1960s. Cobra designer Carroll Shelby and Chevrolet Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov both drove Allards in the early 1950s.[3]

The fleet of maintenance machinery that keeps our nation’s railways and roadways clear comprises some of the coolest machines out there today. The Union Pacific Railroad’s three rotary snowplows are no exception. Built in the 1920s, the rotary snow plows originally ran on steam, but were converted to diesel in the 1950s.

If they could talk
The stories, happy buyers at the dealerships, first dates, flats, driving lessons, dropped ice cream cones, road trips, drive in movies, children driving solo, A&W window trays.....I could go on and on.
City of old cars
Havana...and they are everywhere. Once a month there is a car show in Havana. Because of the Cubans infatuation (and mine) with cars, I would love to be there for one.

Harry Miller 1875-1943
His engines dominated American oval-track racing for almost half a century. Most of the speed records which there were to be had on land and water were held at one time or another by those engines. He created the school of American thoroughbred engine design, which was faithfully followed by those who sought to outdo him. He was the originator, in the United States, of the racing car as an art object. He had a passion for metalwork and machinery that soared above and beyond all practical consideration.

Nelson Nevada is not a town, rather it's an old gold mine in the middle of nowhere that has a great collection of junk.
1904 Steam Traction Engine
Nichols and Shepard Steam traction Engines were built in Battle Creek, Michigan from 1848-1929. I believe this one is a 1918 model. Weighing over 11,000 pounds, powered by wood or coal they traveled at 3 mph. This was taken at the annual steam show in Baraboo WI where over 500 steam powered tractors and construction equipment powered by white hot steam, plenty of black smoke and driven by hard men, gather for a 5 day event.
