proof that learning never stops

Anyone know why these cars were in the Oceans 11 warehouse they filmed some of the movie scenes in?

terrible quality, so much for the nonsense they say about DVD quality.

Images vintage gas station and truck from the movie "Hoover"

some neat stuff shows up in period correct movies

Congratulations to "Ridesabike.tumblr.com" for getting a full page feature in Entertainment Weekly! And for making a book!

It sure is awesome to see another favorite of mine (on my blog list too) get media attention from the big magazines! I found Steven's site in Jan 2011 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/celebs-photographed-in-candid-moments.html ... so it doesn't always take very long when you are puttting quality out there. Maybe someday I'll get a turn in that spotlight. (Hope!)

the Steve McQueen dune buggy from "The Thomas Crown Affair" , Faye Dunaway looks like she's screaming every time they caught air

Leatherheads, the movie, had some great vehicles from the 1920's... George Clooney driving a motorcycle and sidecar, and Rene Zellweger. Good movie

 I looked carefully at the motorcycle, and can't see who made it. Could be any of several bike companies

 I just learned that these were both made by Eddie Paul, Thanks to Neil Larson for sending me these!
