far from the utilitarian work tractor, this 1948 orchard model from IH McCormick Deering is very streamlined!

for info: http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/004/9/8/4988-mccormick-deering-o-4.html

 IH commissioned an industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, to give the new Farmall general-purpose tractors a sleek new streamlined look. Designed for small-to-medium size American farms, IH's new machines offered a wider variety of capabilities, engines, and equipment options. 

IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need.  Sales took off, and letter-series production did not end until 1954. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, well built and affordable, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor. Many machines (especially the two largest models, the H and M) are still in operation on farms today.

a variety of good stuff from Go Away Garage

how cool is this old wrecker, they weren't called tow trucks when and where I grew up, they were known as wreckers. One thing I like about this one, the tire covered  front bumper was often used to push a vehicle that couldn't move under it's own power, because a lot of cars then were stick shifts, and if the starter or battery wouldn't work, all you needed was a push start.

above, a Wallis tractor

Above, a Wilkinson motorbike, and the seat! That looks comfortable!

Hard to make out, but the Moroso gold valve covers, and the wheelie bars? I think this was for drag racing

Above, a part of a Norman Rockwell. The best part.

I don't think I've ever seen a woody bus before, but it looks good!

that is the biggest fire gong, or a big train flywheel

 
the racket 4 motors must have made!

incredible kid sized trailer! Too cool!

damn cool garage shelving idea!

Yup, the dog lovers would likely be outraged at the dogs stuck in the trunk, but it's a neat photo anyway

I came across a interesting and varied blog today, here are some extra cool images from Whothefuckismisterfreedoom blogspot (Very NSFW and offensive to women... but some really cool images too, I don't censor or discriminate though)

Factory or dealership optional back seat, though I've never seen a woman ride a motorcycle "sidesaddle" The bike is an Excelsior if memory serves me still

that is a very realistic airbrushing that will wig out people in traffic behind this truck!

great idea to have a fresh spark plug along!

Someone is sure to wonder what about the above image is interesting, it's the lettering style, and similarity in letters, to the Metallica logo. They are a hard rock band from California.

thanks to Cheech Marin for decades of humor, and lots of great movies!

A good way to use an old skateboard

simple and effective
