1936 Henderson at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet

the newly restored bike was unveiled at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet. The bike belongs to Frank Westfall from Syracuse, NY. According to some info I found online, the bike was originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936 and is based on a 1930 K.J Henderson.

I read somewhere in the post that the gauges were from a Pierce Arrow

Thanks to Chris (of http://chrisoncars.com/ ) for letting me know about this cool bike!

Troy Brumbalow's Franken'cuda, design by Pfaff Design

Like almost half the cars I see at car shows and SEMA, it was made to tour, show, and sell. 3 months later, it's at auction in the January Barrett Jackson http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/famous-vehicles-for-sale-at-barrett.html

the odd design style of Paul Jaray, applied to a 1935 Maybach Streamliner coupe at the Paris Autoshow contrasted with the 1938 GAZ gl1

Bottom photo was from Le Container I think.. not sure

Anyway, what a contrast of designs.. the Jaray at top was streamlined body, big cabin... opposite the GAZ below. Odd to have found these photos at about the same time.

The Bugnotti by Delahaye USA

Chris has posted a thorough comparison of a variety of car by their drag coefficients

I had no idea that a Ford Probe, a Vector, a Chevy Lumina APV (mini van), and a Jaguar XJ220 all had a .30 drag coefficient, remarkable!

But the 1948 Tucker was just .28! and the '35 Tatra was .21, better than the new Mercedes Benz CL E Class Coupe

This is the best looking Studebaker design I've ever seen... looks like a '41 Willys

Nice rear bumper, the v shape and rounded ends look good

Simple and good looking hood looks just like a Willys American, and the dual grills look better than the 40 Willys, but not quite as good as a 41 Willys grill

One bent grill piece

This look anything like a Studebaker to you? I don't think so. But that's what all the

manufacturer stuff on it says it is. Better proportions than the business coupe Dodge too.

the shark nose '38 Graham, quite a departure from contemporary design of it's time

Source of the images, and a good read about the Graham, and why it's nose was so funny looking: http://www.carlustblog.com/2010/07/graham-sharknose.html#more and http://reference.findtarget.com/search/Graham-Paige/

Awesome artist, a lot of talent! Andrey Gusev

Larry Shinoda designed vehicles

With Gurney Westlake 520hp V8 engine, it was capable of 150mph. The original design for this was done on the napkins at a hamburger restaurant.
