This one is newly restored by a friend of mine, there was zero rust on it and brought home from Arizona .Bought it as an unfinished restoration and was taken to bare metal and put in primer before he brought it home..

Went back for a second look & noticed the Ford tractor on the car hauler ........

 

I like the picture of the old guy pumping up his inner tube. See the tube repair patch container? Reminds me of being a kid and patching our bike inner tubes..

 

 

 

Looks like Flexume Sign is still there today:

 

Someone please explain this one to me...

 

I'd bet it's a German wood-to-fuel gas converter mounted on the front of the car, during WWII.

At first glance I thought maybe he was selling roasted nuts.........LOL

Thanx again. I guess I need to read up on it a bit more.
