This is a 1940's or 1950's baby seat, just like the one Norm's kid was in when Life magazine did a gallery on Norm working on the Kookie car http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/life-magazines-gallery-of-norms-little.html
The above was purchased in Yosemite in the 1940's
Farmers Insurance tag

the above is the car owners invention so sitting on the tires doesn't get road grime on the clothes, and transferred into the car upholstery
The above and below are in the same car... the home made cupholder is clever and disposable

Great home built kart... get a look at the steering wheel! Photo was taken by John Gutman, in Georgia, 1937 http://www.johngutmann.org/viewer/index.html and incredibly, ridethemachine.tumblr posted this yesterday... but I found it on "onthelosthighway.tumblr" today
The look of a maniac, ain't that a grin!
Dangerous and deadly racing.
http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is a guy who took these photos of his dad, and his dad's 1924 original and untouched Harley Davidson
http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is mostly tattoos, it's NSFW, but it also has a lot of respect for Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, and Babe Ruth.

The lights work too,
Jim is a mechanic extraordinaire, and worked on Nascar engines if I recall correctly. If you like model A's you'll love the look of Jim's, restored perfectly, but a little bit lowered (I don't remember how) http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/restored-31-ford-with-documneted.html
