thrift score...


made a small DETOUR during my travels yesterday...dropped-in to a little Flea Market at the "Kentucky Wool Festival" in Falmouth Kentucky...scored these two Vintage Shop Aprons right outta the car...the Blue Denim one appears much older than the Screened-On Logo...it appears to be Un-Worn, has Selvage on Both Ends and the Denim is super-STIFF!

currently on ebay...

currently on ebay...

this super-COOL 1950's Mexican Silver "Biker's Ring" is currently listed on ebay...I think it's bad-ass and should fetch a pretty penny...

best "THRIFT SCORE" ever?...

this post is for the pickers, prospectors and Treasure Hunters who, in a slump, think that all the "GOOD SHIT" has already been found...
this is the 1950s "Cadillac Special" built by Carol Shelby and it hasn't seen the sunshine since the 1960s...it was originally built for a 1959 "All Racers" contest at the world famous Langhorne, Pa Speedway...this custom coupe was shipped East from California, qualified for the Pole and never took the Green Flag to start the race (over-heating) and was locked-up in a nearby New Jersey barn hoping to race another day, which never came ..here she is in 2010 rolling out of the darkness from where she had been stored (except for a few select joy-rides back in the 60s) for the last 50 Years...
