Peavey parts
Budd wheels
Budd was on the move in the 1950s, making railway cars, car bodies and just about anything for transportation. This ad came from National Geographic, an unlikely medium for a heavy manufacturer with little direct contact with the buying public.

Fashion Friday, swimming with a horse
Lone ranger? Knight in- uhmm...- shining armour? I can't get my head around any reason for the appearance of a horse in a bathing suit ad. Can't picture a bunch of suits sitting around a boardroom table, agreeing, "Yup, that's the one."
CB200
1975 CB200. Only imported one year for Canada and I can't believe how many have survived. It was notable only for the cable operated front disc brake and everyone passed it by as they bought the CB360 and the Fours.
