I did not photo shop this, I think it's an original print
Wow, Kevin Bacon before stardom was a model for roller skates... who woulda guessed?
Huh, the famous car record player, but in a right hand drive car, first time I've seen that!

This was a jab at the outspoken nut reactionists who didn't want the automobiles to be legal and on the same roads as the horse and carriages. Auto's were loud, fast, and unknown. Sorta the same reaction that Rock and Roll of the 50's, and hot rodders of the 40's had to deal with. So when the Sportsman in the above image asked about the motorist killing anything it was indicating the conservative notion of the old folks that autos were going to wantonly kill pedestrians, horses, and whatever else was in it's way. Maybe there was a thread of truth, because no one was familiar with engines, gasoline, batteries, and powerful cars... all dangerous, explosive, and in the hands of people with zero experience with the dangers of each.
The above is the artwork of Stephan Marjoram, a fantastic photographer I've posted the work of before, I recommend you follow this link to the 2nd page, and see the awesome photos Stephan posted http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=marjoram&updated-max=2010-02-28T22%3A44%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=20. I didn't know he was such a really damn good artist, but he is. http://stefanmarjoram.com/art.htm

one of the Jack London's greatest friends and it is his sculpture of Jack London that holds the honor today of adorning the entrance to the Jack London State Historic Park up in Glen Ellen.
Unusual coincidence that I happen to have taken a photo of this trophy at Speedfest 2006, or a copy of it, since it's obvioiusly similar, but the drivers head is on the opposite side

According to the book "Von Dutch: The Art, The Myth, The Legend" the first airbrushed "monster" shirts were done by Von Dutch, and I've posted earlier that a lot of others got into that business, Ed Roth, Jeffries, and Mouse were selling them http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/monster%20shirts
This is the dash of the Hirohota Merc
Chrismans famous "Old 25" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/oldest-surviving-dragster-and-it-was.html the oldest known hot rod
this is a very sought after piece of racing car history. No one knows where it is, but everyone knows that is was on the front of the Chavaliers club race car
I like the louvered fenders with flames, it's very unique, and I doubt anyone ever copied it
This was the first I'd learned that Reventon had Vond Dutch pinstripe and number the scarabs
The above Corvette was the daily drive of Eric Rickman, best known of all the Hot Rod photographers
I'm sure this van has to have went to a junkyard long ago, but if it ever turns up it will be a treasure of Von Dutch's work... hell, what an eyeball on the nose!
and Von Dutch's Kenford, and the adjustment levers are just damn terrific. Not shown is "Le Dump Tube" that Von Dutch put into through the floor so he could get rid of beer cans before cops found them in his truck...
He didn't think a door handle was cool, because anyoen could use it to get in... so he made his own wrench to open the door from the outside. This is a cool custom idea.
Stan Betz was a louver puncher and body man, and possibly Von Dutch's best friend, and beneficiary of a ton of free work, and knives and guns
the above flame jopb is comical and ingenious, the yellow flame telling the sperm following him to turn back, it's a blow job. Yup, right on Stans business truck fender. Von Dutch was in such high demand for so much of his life that it made him bitter, obnoxious, and he offended many people just to get breathing room, the rest he bacame a hermit to get away from.
