More cool vehicles from Steampunkvehicles.Tumblr.com

Which got your attention first, the 6 wheels, the carpet roof, or the three bench seats? What a world's fair looking extravagence. Beautiful vehicle. I wish I had a year or maker. Reminds me of the 1905 Bordeux Cali limo https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGDRX4RBObcCWXuMJ_p4i8OniyIB8FowaDC9T7F8twX2uwd_xkAiueaUxODl4UuExNxoEa-S0b03v1pd58xbfn0Ew7EvIankYvjbRq9w-8U35YtgaoDmowX5gjXz973EToGFVlGdtjFIg/s1600/1905+Bordeaux+Cali+Limousine..jpg
1934 Mercedes DR rail car
1912 Italian 305mm cannon... what in the world pulled, pushed or powered this beast?
Cool looking but simple railway crane
the Pickwick Coach, sleeps 26

Great 1920's or early 1930's 5th wheel tow and trailer
Notice in the above, the front wheel has a direction vane so the driver way at the back of the cab can tell where it will steer

Fastest 2 wheeled steam powered vehicle? Probably

from http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5860024&postcount=13533 is the tank of superheated water that when the valve is opened flashes to steam, and being locked down to the rail, propels the vehicle it was attached to into a crash test concrete block.

Imagine the speed this could attain if it wasn't pushing a car into a wall

three dozen reasons to know you'll like looking through Go Away Garage blogspot

Above a WW2 Crosley 3 wheeler
Gas in the spark plugs... wow, that was a long time ago
I think the above is the supercharged straight eight
not good to see your back wheel pass you by
Stutz Blackhawk at Ormand Beach

Steam powered lawn mowers.... your neighbors would freak out.
crew cab model a, custom made


Great old vintage bike stand

They said it's photoshopped, but I don't care
Ner a car

They look like they are bolted to a bar under the bikes, probably a carnival ride



Above is a Willys or Graham I think
I like the van without the headlights, nice custom bodywork look
Private Hawaiian plantation tourist trainride

Morgan, very early I bet
I'd never heard before that Oral Roberts (televangelist) had bought a Futurliner... huh
That helmet is terrific
I know I have forgotten what I used to know about the above dragster.
1906 Stanley Steamer set the land speed record for steam powered cars at Ormand Beach, and that 126 mph record still stands. Steam was obsolete so quickly after Stanley and Doble perfected its use in cars, that no one even tried o break their record
Way cool Triumph gas tanks stringed art. I doubt it plays, but it does look incredible




Gyro stabilized car
Vespa in the back of a Citreon 2cv... awesome

see these and a whole lot more at http://goawaygarage.blogspot.com/ but don't look while at work, there is a lot of hardwood floors and tatays
