Ever see a speedometer that has higher speeds a different color to distinguish speeding? Sure, the 1970's cars changed at 55, but ever see it at 50?

Not many International Harvesters out there, it's cool to me to see one at a car show

This grill gets it.... the Hudson Terraplane hood ornament is not easy on the eyes... so this one has a Plymouth piece instead, and looks awesome

Tied for best looking design for instrument gauge cluster... with a single pod unit in the 1946 Nash https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIX5H1-5FInbrKbx5c0evk8eB0n8sCVMUHrhu2xX6TnMHRPZhphqrk9EP-3CQ7YCBw-GmAinL0BNKq1USOC-UH5CNGLVyCvVIhK6UtnokBaUgGXaROPQbJc5KXcHYR02F1v2_Po9elgKec/s1600/DSCN7564.jpg and another Plymouth instrument cluster https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjozDgMa-MtkUV7WvkYHgaFs67eyQiY0EfX4-G6VMY9H7MCPtT94tdb0Mr43OFhBpzV3JAfrmo_2bCwg2hWr5bNVIfX4EW79pO7tLJMdDVk87pxYxzr7TTOtadNj7GPz_z5Be27e4bupfBu/s1600/DSCN3782.JPG

Some unusual rare parts on this roadster.. I was told it's owned by the Lattin family, the Bonneville racers

the red pegasus was the trademark of Exxon Mobil from 1933 to 54.. these headlight eyebrow indicators are the first I've seen

written on the side of the car in the center of the steering wheel... "Hot Rod"

Pierce Arrow speedometer

The Veda Special knock offs? I've never seent hem before, but I speculate that they are from the Orr husband and wife Speed Shop, though a thread on the HAMB talks about Briz Bumpers and Orosco making repops. Veda set the Full Fendered Roadster record at 104.40 mph and later upped that to 114.24 in 1937. She ran 131-plus mph at the wheel of the Taylor-Blair modified and became the first woman to race in the SCTA.

Veda published the SCTA News, and later started her own newsletter as a means of communicating with other racers; however, it wasn't long after its inception that WWII began and many of the racers found themselves in the military and on their way overseas. To keep spirits up, Veda distributed her publication to more than 750 service men all around the world for free and personally corresponded with hundreds as well.

The owner of the above car has a great sense of humor, when I asked him about the unusual round antenna he told me it's a satellite antenna... from Canada
