Elio has made some cool parts art... like this tank

See the rest at http://eliomonteiro.blogspot.com/. He isn't blogging, just putting his art up online to demonstrate his talent

once an electric car garage, a bldg in Santa Ana has been a home to the Packards International Motor Car Club

the bldg is also the business location for Custom Auto Service, aka Packard Palace. I know where I'm stopping by next time I'm in Santa Ana!

Learned about it from the always amazing Hagerty newsletter http://www.hagerty.com/classic-car-articles-resources/Features/News/All-Articles/2013/01/07/Robert-Escalante?utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_medium=email&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Hagerty%20Weekly%20News%2001-07-2013

The Love Bug scenes in San Francisco 1968

the last of the Victorian are buildings in San Fran I suppose, but as a horse drawn fire pumper station building it's amazing. Not a very good job at keeping the building look the same consistancy in the day and night image (it's a painting not a real building)

the first image of Herbie. Ever.

the cars in the background. Cool.

A challenge to a drag race from a hippie kid in a T bucket

Bitchin Rolls Royce

This is interesting as an example of the mid to late 60's hippe art, and the two characters below, they're in the model A, I bet there is a reason they look so damn goofy, and I believe the guy on the left side is Benny Hill

Interior decorating with car parts art for the garage, or Car Guy bachelor pad

Inherent beauty in design

the movie Thunderbolt - Jackie Chan 1999, stunt direcotr Sammo Hung. Good movie, kung fu and sports car fusion, with racing scenes in a Herbie the love bug style

Great garage couch, a 70's Ford LTD or Lincoln Town Car maybe, cut at the dutchman panel, with the rear seat in the truck, trunk lid attached and raised... very impressive! The main character's family business is a junkyard in Hong Kong. The coffee table is a couple of racing tires with a glass top, corners are safety protected with cut tennis balls.

Wouldn't it be great if your team sponsor showed up with a trailer FULL of tires? on the left is the race car transporter, sides and top are gull winged out of the way to provide shade and rain shelter, the cars are on a 4 corner full hoist for working on or under, and allows for 4 cars in the trailer. Superb

Here's examples of the Herbie the love bug style racing cinematography. Not bad, just derivitive.

Or maybe Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Don't be concerned, the movie is well paced, decently acted, fun and a great mix of Jackie Chan martial arts/gymnastics and sports car racing
