Auto Club Signs

I have collected signs for a long time, my favorite signs are L.A.P.D marked signs and Automobile Club of Southern California marked signs. A.C.S.C. provided signs for roads for many years prior to cities, counties or the state providing these. I have these in this garage amongst my Police Call Boxes and Fire Alarm boxes.

Sam Flowers' 1941 Graham Hollywood

I have always wanted a Graham Hollywood since I first laid eyes on one in high school in 1959. I got this one from Ok. several years ago and has been my primary car show car since. Chev. 350/700R4, Chev. rear, power disc., IFS suspension, air, XM and more. Drives good, comfortable and not the run-of-the-mill rod for sure.

VAMPIRA

Maila Nurmi portrayed "Vampira" on Channel 7 in L.A. in 1953-4. She was the original ghoulish host which spawned many imitators including "Elvira". Vampira sadly passed away on 1-10-2008 after 86 years on this planet. I remember sneaking out of bed and hiding behind the couch so I could watch her as this was a late night program. I would get caught by my mother usually, but was able to watch many times without getting caught.
