WAHLBORG 1/4 MIDGET

OK, here is another one of my cars this car is a 1959 Wahlborg they were manufactured in Torrance, Calif.
They had the more classic style midget body. This is a very cool car!
When Michael Andretti first started racing as a young boy his first car was a Wahlborg, I also have a 1957 Wahlborg, I will post pictures of later.

Sleepy Lagoon,

This sign is located in Beaver, UT. The motel is long gone, the only thing that's left is the sign outside, for how long I don't know. I wish I had this sign in my backyard, it's one of my favorites. I love the silhouettes of the two girls sitting underneath the trees and the moon with the rippling neon underneath it. I hope it's preserved some how.

COWGIRL

Here is a collage I made for my daughter Mallory. She has always liked horses, cowboys, and rodeo. So this is what I came up with. I used all vintage items, programs, magazines, maps, etc.

PACEMAKER

Ok, here is another one of my cars. Its a 1958 Pacemaker standard 1/4 midget manufactured in Portland Oregon. This car was once owned by famous race car driver Mickey Thompson. His sons raced the car in 1958-59. I spent two years restoring this car it was featured in a vintage race magazine a few years back. The Pacemaker cars were well designed and dominated the track in the day.

Halfway Club

This is the old Halfway Club, it gets its name because it is half way between Price Ut and Helper Ut. Oh the stories this place could tell. You see my dad was born and raised in Scofield Ut which is not far from here. These towns were built for coal miners, which most of my dads family was. I bet my dad and his two older brothers probably spent a night or two in this old club.

The light blue car is a 1956 MANTZ manufactured in California.
This is a very early car one of the first cars mantz produced, also an old TV sign I picked up a few years back.
