Welcome
to Pop's Garage in beautiful downtown Beach Bum Cove. A
mythical place where the clocks don't get wound and calendars
are only valued for their great old car pictures. Pop still
drives Dorothy Louise, his beloved Rambler Ambassador
convertible but keeps his skateboard in the back for when he
forgets her gas gauge tends to stick.
Tire Kicking is the place Pop puts articles and photo
features about his favorite cars. Featured now is the 1948
Studebaker Land Cruiser and The
History of the Metropolitan. Both articles have links
to other sites of interests for fans of the late American independent
auto manufacturers.
In The Livery, you'll discover that
Pop also has a real thing for limousines and hearses. Friends
in his car club own The '49 Crown
Imperial and provided the original factory photographs
that illustrate the article. Limousines
& Hearses is a rare look at vintage professional cars
owned by members of the Tri-State Chapter of the Professional
Car Society.
For
scale model fans who like reviews with more than just words
and maybe, a couple pictures.
The Car
Room - Playing
With Cars features
videos of the models with sound narratives by Joe Kelly Jr.
Maybe it's the name that caught Pop's eye...growing up, no kid
every came to visit, at least in warm weather, who didn't get
a trip to the garden to Play Cars with Pop's promo
collection. Hey, what kid knew then that promos would be highly
desirable and expensive collectibles 50 years in the future.
