After pebble beach, as long as we are in the neighborhood, we should hit the Monterey auction at Sotheby's

Would the Kaiser-Darrin be fun just for the doors?

My knee hurts just by looking at that pointy end.

This gent wasn’t interested in either Pebble Beach or Sotheby’s. I’ll post more rides later, as Mrs. RW and I stopped by the inaugural Iron City Car Cruise this afternoon.

I like it, looks like fun. I think the word is character, that car has Character.

Did you get to talk with the owner?

Tony…there was nobody nearby but I can only imagine the sound when they turn the key. Check out this ‘59 Caddy that was one of the higher end cars that were displayed inside the brewery…the setting was surreal…more to come.

More photos from inside the brewery.

I’m a fan of the original Bronco but I don’t like seeing them lifted. For one, they look great at stock ride height, and for two, the highish center of gravity and short wheelbase was a bad enough combo when they were stock. This is based on two that belonged to fathers of friends—somehow only one wound up in a ditch when I was a passenger.

Dan…I threw in a few trucks and a wagon in here for you, along with some bike content. Check out the articulated Power Wagon.

One more post from inside part of the brewery…the place is massive and used to be an old PPG glass manufacturing facilty.

Power Wagons seem to be the current thing, I don’t go to many car shows but there’s always a nice PW.

By that do you mean the likes of Audi RS6 Avant, Porsche Panamera, and MB E63 AMG?

My Volvo V60 CC generates a rather measly 250 HP at 5500 RPM (turbo aided), but it's plenty sufficient for my needs.

Can't imagine needing 550 HP at 5500 RPM (like the one on the RS6) outside of track days.

Sorry, I mean classic Dodge Power Wagons like the articulated custom RW posted in this thread.

I also like the cars you referenced but I call them dragster wagons.

I don't think it's a custom. I think it's a Willock Swivel Frame. I've heard of them, but I've never seen one. https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/...-swivel-frame/

Lumpy...I've got your 6.

That's so cool.

Last set for you lugnutted motor heads...yes, the Dodge with the blower had plates and note the floatie key fob in the Amphicar.

Power Wagon would be a good name for a heavy metal country band that only does covers of western-themed show tunes.

I loved floaty key chains as a kid.

Was going thru some stuff and found these photos. I was riding with the Packard owner for a few miles, he was riding an Ordinary(Penny-Farthing). No photo of his bike tho.

The porsche colors all look really good in real life. Photo doesnt do it justice. I want the Wagon Version of the Taycan in off-road in metallic green. I'd saving up my pennies.

Saw this Taycan Turismo on my ride and I had to stop and take a few photos. Located barely 300 ft away is an A4 (or perhaps A6) in metallic green.
