McDonalds in railroad cars... might be the only one in the world that isn't in a building, but in freightcars. Barstow Station

It is empty in these photos because I got there about closing time.

From their website, a McDonalds in Barstow (California on route 66, at the intersection of Interstates 40 and 15)  was the biggest in the world in the 1970's, and a guy bought it, plus bought the railroad cars, and put together 17 cars. He made the combined cars connected to use as a multi restaurant establishment, and now it has a Panda Express, McDonalds, Greyhound Bus line, a liquor store and a ice cream store. http://www.barstowstation.net/

one 1970 Hemi Cuda was made with a Mod Top

A odd motorbike that Von Dutch built on a BMW frame, with a VW engine

Thanks Frank! I've never heard or seen this one before

Wheelchair with lawn cutting blades... ummmm, what? What is the idea? To push yourself around the front yard and cut the grass?

Nice Mustang, and great collection of stickers and decals... but I noticed the unique treatment of the license plate, first I've seen made to look like a 1960's

Putting the Holman Moody decal across the hood this way sure grabbed my attention, but then I glanced at the plate, and noticed the aging and color treatment that they've given it, as it is not a 1960' plate, it's just the right colors. The new plates are easy to spot, because they have 7 characters. All the yellow letter on black background plates for cars were 6 characters, the first 3 were letters, the 2nd 3 were numbers. Of course the commercial vehicles (includes El Camino and Ranchero) were different and easy to distinguish from the cars plates

 also the front and back have a different texture in this aging and coloring example

pretty cool to go to this trouble to make the plates seem to be the right ones for the decade. If this car really had the black and yellow plates for a car from 1965-66 they would probably be something like ppp111 through sss-999

All aluminum '40 Willys that's been circling around the internet all year finally found my email inbox

I looked around the internet to see where these originally came from, and the earliest post of them seems to be mid February 2012 on http://wizardofbaum.blogspot.com/2012/02/walt-austins-aluminum-willys-coupe.html where there are more images. However, http://saltflatsspeedshop.com/40willys.html has a bigger gallery and a couple of the car at a car show and where the Salt Flats Speed Shop says they sold it to a guy in New York

1966 Berlinetta Willys Interlagos, one of 4 in the USA according to the owner, out of only 822 made in Brazil

for more info http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z16174/Willys-Interlagos.aspx but in brief, Willys Overland of Brazil licensed the Renault Alpine 108, and built them from 1962-1966

This cars owner left a comment, and thanks! telling us that this one is one of maybe 4, 2 are intact, one is derelict, and the 4th is rumoured to be a cabriolet in Long Beach.
