some things that caught my eye at the Knotts Berry Farm annual all Ford show

the above Mustang has captured a lot of celebrity attention at car shows... I don't know why. It's been hit and restored, and in a music video... but nothing about the car caught my attention except the billboard

at the entrance across the street from Sears, this ugly 75 or 76 greeted you with it's ass. What a revolting developement as Bugs bunny used to say

on the subject of ugly, this Thunderbird speedometer is so ugly.... so cheap looking, and in such contrast to the cool pod gauges.. damn shame

Some cool things that captured my attention at the Long Beach Motorama

 this bight of colors and perfect paint captured a lot of attention. I've posted it a couple times. It started life as an Austin taxi cab in England

 Not in focus, but a really cool flat image in the glove box area, and it shows what the glove box COULD have
