* Automotive historians generally pay less attention to assembled cars of the 1920s than they do bespoke cars of that same era, but the Gardner is worth more attention than other assembled cars for a variety of reasons, not excluding its attempt to build a front-wheel drive car toward the end of its existence.
* Our SIA Flashback on Norman Bel Geddes’s automobiles neglected to show a picture of his flying car concept, shown here (thanks to the photoblog x planes) as a model “in flight.”
* Of all the holidays that one would normally associate with snowmobiles, the Fourth of July comes in dead last, but in Crosby, Minnesota, vintage Scorpion sleds (and other Trail-A-Sled products) paraded down Main Street to celebrate the products that made the town (somewhat) famous. VintageSledders.com has the pics.
* Most Americans, even American tractor enthusiasts, probably have never heard of the Chamberlain Champion tractor, an Aussie implement built between 1955 and 1966. That’s not why a bunch of blokes from Down Under shipped their Chamberlains to Baltimore and began a cross-country trek in them. Nah, the group started driving their tractors around Australia a few years ago and decided it’d be a grand adventure to see the States in their tractors. They’re currently somewhere around Kentucky.
