Just another place to look at car stuff.

Car Photo of the Day: Still Life with Chromed Exhaust

I stumbled upon this old race car in a museum on the east coast. What caught my eye, other than these cool looking exhaust pipes, was the obvious connection between this exotic race car and Seattle. More specifically to my little neighborhood of Ballard in the northwest part of the city. Can you name the car, and the connection?

Need another hint? How about a 40′ one lit up in neon!

How’s that for some old-time Seattle nostalgia?

Car Photo of the Day: Name that Car (and help out a friend!)

Antoine and Anna Martineau in their new car.

A friend of mine from my University days (Go Tech!) sent me this scan of a family photograph in the hopes of identifying the car, and therefore the year when it was taken. It is believed to be taken in Oconto, Wisconsin before 1917, and shows Antoine and Anna Martineau in their new car. As the car appears to be brand new, if we can nail down the make, model and most importantly year, we can help the family date the photo. So get out your Brass Era memories and help ID the car. DTA are you out there?

Here is a closer look at the car itself:

Closer look at the car.

I’m fairly certain I’ve seen this car before in a museum somewhere (but my Brass Era recognition skills are useless), and I’ll be sorting through my thousands of photos to see it I can find it. Meanwhile if you think you know it, call it out in the comments.

Thanks!

Car Photo of the Day: Name the Mystery Car

I was helping a friend load some of his stuff into a storage locker, and as we exited the premises I stumbled upon this wondrous old moldy thing. I’ve ‘shopped off the identifying bits (I hope) and now it is up to you dear reader to fill in the blanks… recognize this machine?

Car Photo of the Day: White Christmas edition

Another image from the same set as yesterday, taken on the road down from Artist’s Point. The photo was shot in summer, but we’re here in winter now, and the Jaguar is hibernating in the barn. I’m in Colorado, where it snowed and was very cold today. Only Christopher and I ventured out onto the slopes, and we skied/froze our butts off. Great day with very few people on the lifts. My sister and her whole family is on their way here as I type and soon we’ll be having a big Goolsbee holiday celebration.

I hope all my readers are spending the Holidays with those that they love.

Car Photo of the Day: A White Christmas Eve

It is Christmas Eve and we’re at my parent’s house in Colorado. We’ve been skiing for the past few days. Colorado could use some snow, in fact about two feet would make the skiing a lot better. Today’s Car Photo was taken a few summers ago at Artist’s Point at the end of the Mt. Baker highway. It is a wonderful scenic drive not far from our house, and it is never lacking for snow. The nearby Mt. Baker Ski Area in fact has over seven feet (over two meters for my metric friends) of snow right now. Send some to Colorado… please!

I hope all of you have a great Christmas this year!
