The early gas station of the 1920s embodies a pivotal moment in American automotive history. As automobiles became more accessible to the general public, the need for fueling stations grew rapidly. These quaint, often single-pump establishments marked the beginning of a new era, where the open road became a symbol of freedom and adventure. Typically characterized by their distinctive architecture and signage, these gas stations often featured a charming blend of Art Deco and Craftsman styles, making them local landmarks. They were not just places to fill up; they served as social hubs where travelers would gather, share stories, and enjoy a brief respite from the road. This period saw the rise of road trips and the exploration of America, and these early gas stations played a crucial role in fueling that spirit of adventure. They represent a simpler time, where the journey was as important as the destination http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730170665.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730170665.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730170665.jpg 1940s wood gas generator.

John Saber purchased numerous mining claims along Lynx Creek but he didn't care much for how crowded the place was, and he wanted to find a place that might produce better gold than Lynx Creek. By the Spring of 1877, Saber set off alone from Prescott into the dangerous Bradshaw Mountains with only his horse and a pack mule with few supplies and a bulk of mining equipment. Within a month he returned in town with two saddle bag's full of beautiful quartz laced with gold. He purchased two more pack animals and loaded them with as much supplies as he could and even more mining equipment. A Captain stationed at Ft Whipple asked to escort the prospector with his detachment to as far as Rose Peak (Now Antelope Peak) as the Apache were recently active in the mountains nearby. Saber agreed and stated that his recent discovery was just a days ride from Rose Peak. Once at the peak and having camped for two days, the military escort continued their patrol and Saber returned to his mine. This was the last time the citizens of Prescott ever seen John Saber alive. During the late summer, a Chinese laborer collecting firewood from one of the many mining camps came upon a dead man sitting upright against a Ponderosa Pine, his horse and a pack animal hobbled nearby and heavily dehydrated. When others arrived they noticed that this was the man's camp and that there was no sign of foul play. While going through the dead man's clothes, they found documents, a book and a pocket watch identifying the man as John Saber. Upon closer inspection they could see the cause of death, Saber was bitten by a Rattlesnake and had a slow, agonizing death. In one of Saber's pack's was 100lbs of crushed rich gold ore which was ready for smelting. Obviously he was making his way into town to have his discovery properly assayed and possibly even file a legitimate claim, but sadly never made it. No attempt was made to find his mine during that time as the Bradshaw's were so active with the Apache raiding the mining camps and local ranches. The Saber mine has never been found and the only real clue we have is that it is a day's ride from Rose Peak (Now Antelope Peak). If this mine was found, I believe it would be quite the discovery! If while on your adventures this week you find yourself near the Bradshaw Mountains and happen to be near Antelope Peak, maybe stop and take a look around. You never know what you might find.

In the 60s, racer Dan Gurney approached Weslake with the idea of building a V8 engine with alloy heads based on the Ford Fairlane 289cid block. He had made sketches of his thoughts on this and took them to show Harry Weslake at Rye in England. Drawings for the new Cylinder Heads and other special parts were drawn up by Harry and his staff at Rye. Here they designed the now world renowned Gurney Weslake Cylinder head and racing engine components. The heads had the inlet ports inclined at nine degrees as opposed to the standard twenty and were round in shape. The combustion chambers were of the Weslake pattered heart shaped. The first Heads were made for testing purposes, cast by Alcoa and tested by John Miller at Dan Gurneys All American Racing in the USA. These were the Mark I type. Modifications were made following the initial testing and then further heads were made in England of the Mark II type at the Weslake works at Rye. Further testing took place in the USA a feature of this being racing at Riverside in 1965. In 1966 the Mark III version of the Gurney Weslake head had been developed with alterations to make assembly and maintenance easer to carry out. Further development work brought about the Mark IV version of the Head lighter in weight with narrower rocker covers and an inclined carburettor mounting towards the centre of the engine. These heads were developed for use with the Ford 305 cid engine and enabled Dan to win at Riverside in 1967. More famously these engines were used to power the Ford GT40 to win at Le Mans Twice, first in 1968 and again in 1969. |

So what did they do? Instead of rolling up their sleeves and getting to work in an effort to come up with a competitive combination, they went to the NHRA and whined. The end result was the NHRA granting "wedge" motors (like the small block Chev, Ford 351 Windsor, etc.) a huge advantage - they only had to weigh 6.5 pounds per cubic inch. Canted valve motors (big block Chev, Ford 351 Cleveland, 428, and 429) could run 6.75 pounds per cubic inch. The Hemi cars were kept at 7.0 pounds per cubic inch. So, no, Bill Jenkins was not some sort of mastermind with the small block Chev. He was incapable of winning on a level playing field which, to be fair, was only due to his loyalty to Chevrolet. He did, after all, beat everyone else who was running small block Chevs, so there is that. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730326112.jpg Interestingly, before he died, he helped Chevrolet with a canted valve head for the small block. He saw the limitations of the wedge head (probably more clearly than anyone else), and set about to correct all of that.

This Ferrari, chassis number 0406MD, was one of only 13 Pinin Farina-bodied Spiders ever built, adding significant rarity and historical value to the lot despite its battered state. Originally designed for privateer racing, the car boasted Ferrari’s then-new 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine and had been driven by renowned drivers like Franco Cortese. Over time, the car suffered multiple crashes on the racetrack, leaving it in a damaged condition that sidelined it for decades. In 1978, the Mondial Spider was acquired by U.S. collector Walter Medlin, who stored it in its wrecked state for 45 years. Its rediscovery and subsequent auction shocked the classic car world, as its crumpled frame and charred body didn’t diminish its appeal to collectors. The Mondial Spider's provenance—being one of the early cars built for Ferrari’s racing program—and its extreme rarity made it a prime candidate for restoration. Auction experts noted the car’s potential to be restored to its former glory, estimating that while the restoration process could cost millions, the car’s value upon completion could far exceed that. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730405555.jpg The Tasmanian King Crab, also known as Pseudocarcinus gigas, is one of the largest crabs in the world. Males can weigh up to 17.6 kg(39lbs) and have a carapace width of up to 46 cm (18inches), while females are smaller not exceeding 7 kg (15 lbs). These crabs are found off the coast of Southern Australia, living at depths of 20 to 820 meters. They prefer rocky and muddy bottoms and are most abundant at depths of 110 to 180 meters in summer and 190 to 400 meters in winter. The crabs are mainly whitist- yellow below and red above, with black- tipped claws. Males have one oversized claw, which can be longer than the carapace width. The claws are incredibly powerful, capable of exerting significant force, used to crush and break open the shells of their prey, such as gastropods and other crustaceans. They feed on carrion and slow-moving species, including gastropods, crustaceans, and starfish. Breeding occurs in June and July, with females carrying up to 2million eggs to about four months. The Tasmanian King Crab is long-lived and slow-growing, with juveniles molting every three to four years. |

With other teams opposing the setup, the SCCA refused to approve it. By the late 1960s, the Trans Am race wars in the SCCA series was heating up. The big three were fully involved with GM, Ford and Chrysler fielding entries. The Mustang had won the inaugural 1966 Trans Am Championship and Chevrolet developed the Z/28 expressly for the SCCA in 1967. It was to no avail as the 289 Hi-Po Mustang beat the new 302ci Z28, causing the Mustang to win its second consecutive championship. By 1968, it was well on the way to becoming a dominant player, until Ford took engine building away from the race teams and forced them to run factory built 302 Tunnel Ports, but that's a story for a different time. In 1969, the Ford Boss 302 won the first couple races and then disaster struck in Canada when all four specially build race cars were destroyed in a massive pileup. For 1970 the SCCA modified several Trans-Am rules to accommodate racers and manufacturers. In an August 1969 meeting, the SCCA decided that the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States would verify production for homologation purposes. Instead of 1,000-car minimum, each manufacturer was required to build a total of homologated models to equal one-250th of the company's total 1969 production, with a minimum of 2,500. The actual figures were 8,200 for Camaro, 7,000 for Mustang, 2,800 for Challenger, and 2,500 for Barracuda and Javelin.

This era was marked by the gold and silver rushes that drew thousands to the Rocky Mountains, seeking fortune beneath the earth’s surface. Miners like those depicted in the photo faced numerous dangers, including cave-ins, toxic gases, and the physical toll of laboring in harsh conditions. The cramped and dark environment of the mine highlights the challenging circumstances miners endured while extracting precious metals that fueled economic growth in the region. The Hubert Mine, part of the larger Central City mining district, was known for its rich deposits of gold and silver. Miners often worked in teams, utilizing manual tools to dig and transport ore, which was then processed to extract valuable minerals. The camaraderie among workers was essential, not only for safety but also to maintain morale in a demanding and often isolating profession. This photograph serves as a testament to their resilience and determination, reflecting the spirit of those who contributed significantly to the development of mining communities in Colorado. Mining operations during this period were crucial to the U.S. economy, as they supplied essential resources for burgeoning industries and infrastructure. However, the labor was grueling, and miners typically worked long hours for meager wages. The image serves as a historical reminder of the sacrifices made by these individuals and the labor movements that eventually emerged in response to their harsh working conditions. Today, the legacy of mining in Colorado is preserved through historical sites and museums, allowing us to remember and honor the contributions of miners who shaped the region's history and economy. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730465565.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1730465565.jpg Tacoma, Washington...
