Not very good taste in floor mats though. If you look at cool steering wheels, and think, wow, they used to design them really well! Then look at this gallery: http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/volantes-antigos/

You learn something new every day... I've never come across anything like this before. But to read more about them, and see other examples of it: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/118802/131964.html?1269713249 Monday, September 20, 2010
The Six Shooter; cool paint, cool custom touches in the engine bay, but best of all is the awesome steering wheel

Cool steering wheel (it says Studebaker on the center button), cool shifter knob, nice grill under the gauges... this is a well thought out and finished look!

What a cool custom, I've never seen anyone make a steering wheel out of a rim! Great key, and, have you ever seen a B&M shifter on a firewall?

Some unusual rare parts on this roadster.. I was told it's owned by the Lattin family, the Bonneville racers

the red pegasus was the trademark of Exxon Mobil from 1933 to 54.. these headlight eyebrow indicators are the first I've seen
written on the side of the car in the center of the steering wheel... "Hot Rod"
Pierce Arrow speedometer
The Veda Special knock offs? I've never seent hem before, but I speculate that they are from the Orr husband and wife Speed Shop, though a thread on the HAMB talks about Briz Bumpers and Orosco making repops. Veda set the Full Fendered Roadster record at 104.40 mph and later upped that to 114.24 in 1937. She ran 131-plus mph at the wheel of the Taylor-Blair modified and became the first woman to race in the SCTA.Veda published the SCTA News, and later started her own newsletter as a means of communicating with other racers; however, it wasn't long after its inception that WWII began and many of the racers found themselves in the military and on their way overseas. To keep spirits up, Veda distributed her publication to more than 750 service men all around the world for free and personally corresponded with hundreds as well.
