not only did this railroad accident victim invent an artificial limb, and patent it, but he used a interesting speed wheel variation on his steering wheel

from http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/2012/05/judge-quentin-corley.html is what I first thought was a flip up speedwheel steering wheel... but it isn't.  The interesting part of the photo is instead, the man behind the wheel, Quentin Corley, Sr. (January 21, 1884 - April 22, 1980) was a Texas circuit judge. On September 18, 1905 in Utica, New York he was in a railroad accident and lost both hands and one arm and shoulder. Within two years he invented and patented an artificial limb.

At first I thought it was http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/from-what-is-idea-with-this-of-last.html

because the inner ring is a spinner

I've only ever seen 3 of these "fatman/tilt lok" steering wheels before, and today I found 3 all at the same event...

more astonishing is that the vehicle above had it's wheel in one position, and the same wheel model below was in another car and in the opposite position, so you can compare and get an idea of how it functions so big bellied drivers could get in an out of a car

for one from last year http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/06/flip-up-steering-wheel-was-found-on.html

plus I looked through the archives, here are a couple other styles that flip up

Style, beauty, elegance, grace and design... photos from the 2013 LaJolla Concours

above: 53 Corvette

above: great auxiliary lights

not often you can find 2 Cords or two cars with flex tube exhaust pipes next to each other

1925 Stutz Weymann bodied, one of two 695 Convertible Roadster, with the rarely seen Balloon Bumpers, and a hell of a big running board mounted searchlight

the engine cowling is painted metal, and the firewall area is material covered

The gator skin is here and there and everywhere throughout

not the only beautiful wood spoked steering wheel you'll see today

the search light and this fire extinguisher cause me to think that this car was used by a fire chief

I say you got your money's worth from this gallery
