Old Timey Shiney Things

Curvy · 03-07-2009, 05:58 PM

Our local antique motorcycle club had a garage tour today. Only a few antiques showed up for the ride.
The first stop was Chance mfg. They are a premire builder of carnival rides and buses.
What? you may say does carnival rides have to do with shiny antiques? Hell if I know other than the owner is a club member so just shut up and enjoy the ride. We'll get to the shiny stuff in a minute.

Parking lot photos.
I rode the Guzz.

Four cylinder Nimbus

Heading into the shop. Damn narcs.

They make alot of carousels. Every single animals paint job is one of a kind.

WOOHOO! Trilled yet? It gets better trust me.
Back in the shop we see some ducks. Actually replicas of WWII ducks.These are for a tour company out of Boston. They no longer can find parts for the originals.

Baby Ferrari's for a ride going to Dubai.

A new ride that they are developing. You can stop the rotation of the chairs with a handle between the riders.

The only car I have ever lusted after is a Talbot-Lago by Figoni & Falaschi.

Thanks for sharing all the nice pix!

I think that "Antique Motorcycle Club" needs a memo- "Ride your old bikes-not your new ones"
