6th annual West Coast all AMC car show at the NHRA museum

Finally a 2nd SC/Rambler is found in So Cal

I don't know what the hell tri-poised power is.. .does anyone? And I hadn't heard of the 327 AMC motor that I remember

Goof collection of 8 tracks!

 How unusual... the AM is across the top, and the FM band  is on the bottom. Must have been at that turning  point of history when FM was in demand enough to add to the radio, but not as desired as AM that had better music.

 What a great road trip collection! Coolest set I've ever seen

 I've seen the same hood ornaments on other cars, I wonder if they were generic?

 Machine and Marlin... only in AMC (American Motor Corp) could they decide on cool names... OK, the Marlin flopped, but I like it. Hell, I guess the Machine wasn't a big success either, but damn... it is a great looking car!

 covered in Line-X or Rhino Liner or some similar non slip, non scuff, highly durable pickup bed aftermarket spray on material

 Studebaker COE

 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster

 a late 1960's Ford 4x4 with a camper top used by a gem and rockhound in the late 60's and through the 1970's . Still equipped the way it was then.

 I dig the old clothes washer basket full of wood, and clamped to the back bumper. This truck has 5 gas tanks, one has a drain so the generator can be gassed up.

 1936 Henney Hearse, story just below... but it was found in a field in Alaska
