Lost in the 80s....


 


77 Pontiac Ventura. Lost in the 80s. 
Fat white letter tires, G60-14!  Last of the bias belted tires!
 Easter egg colour paint,
 Colourful graphics, neon pink underglow,
 everything works (mostly).
 All that's missing is your mullet and the disco tapes.

Ford V8, exploded

.
 Technical illustrators don't get to sign their work. 
Above, flathead Ford V8 ('49-'53, I believe) complete block assembly, (no moving parts). 
Below, the moving parts.





Chrysler idea cars, 1952

Racing funnel


 I'd call that a megaphone, doesn't a "funnel" imply flow in the other direction?

Old Riverside Multitool

Multitool or maybe an implement wrench, hard to tell with tools this old. Tool has a large size wrench of about 2 inches, small square wrench with a light hammer and pick. The other side text looks like S.C.C. & T, which doesn't produce much in a Google search.

The Modern Boy Magazine


Rivets are faster... That illustration looks like it came from a Popular Mechanix magazine... The Modern Boy was a weekly British magazine in print from 1928 to 1939. More history here.
