Ever heard of Norm's Henway? I just found it in the late 70's Hot Rod

I can't find where I pulled the above image from, Brandon Flannery took the photo, and says the image was probably from the HAMB / JalopyJournal

It's not like Gray wrote, (click on the image for a very large readable size) this wasn't a restoration, the Henway is a creation. A play on the old joke, what's a Henway... about 3 pounds.

The rest of these images are from the Jalopy Journal and obviously not the same vehicle

I just noticed that all 3 of these appear to have different rear windows

Two stroke Pogo stick, and nitro roller skates, the most unusual things from the mind of Von Dutch

The above was first published in the Nov 1955 Hot Rod, but I don't have that one, and instead found it in the 25th anniversary issue of Hot Rod

Greatest innovation in bumpers ever

This is the 1964 Indy race car of Smokey Yunick, named the Hurst Floor Shifter Special... a momentary loss of traction caused it to run into a wall and never get into the race, Bobby Johns was driving

above, 1922 Megola Sport

Via: Visual Gratification: http://big-diesel.blogspot.com/2009/08/megalo-concept-engine-on-wheel.html

In 1935 a group of five German engineers named Killinger and Freund from Munich started to design a more streamlined and modified version of the German Megola front-wheel drive motorcycle that had won many motorcycle races in the 1920s. The work took three years to complete but the result was impressive. The engine displacement stayed the same as the Megola at 600cc but was much lighter and more simplified than a standard 100cc motorcycle of the time.

The motorcycle featured a three cylinder two-stroke engine built right into the front wheel, transmission and clutch, with more comfortable front and rear suspension. Streamlining was important as aerodynamics was the first priority of the team who wanted all the moving parts covered, dirt and mud protection, and an elegant style. Other priorities were that the motorcycle be multi-cylinder and possess front-wheel-drive. Their design was a success.

Cool guy, great idea, cool trike, terrific addition to Cruisin Grand

It's either pedal powered of that engine (leaf blower?)

Look at the side view mirror and the license plate

When they tell you "it'll never fly" don't listen to them...

What you create may not be the F22 Raptor, but it may be the first step in the "Wright" direction

the barn ball

so far all mentions of this VW Bus Ball are just copying the photos from http://oblique.csail.mit.edu/Album/Shellenbarger/Shellenbarger_Summer_2001/Volkswagen2.jpg.html but without giving credit to the photographer, nice guy named Thouis, who told me I can use his photos, and only requested that I "Mark them as creative commons licensed, and please attribute Lars-Erik Fisk as the sculptor"

Marvel Mystery Oil, still around since 1923

Why did he give it the name Mystery Oil? Is it said that Burt Pierce refused to divulge the formula for his new product and, when asked about its ingredients; he would say “It’s a Mystery”, and the name caught on The Marvel Oil Company was founded in 1923 by Burt Pierce, inventor of the Marvel Carburetor. His carburetor was standard equipment on eighty percent of all vehicles produced after World War I.
