Any guesses as to what we have come across today? All we need now is everything else. Just kidding, it's a complete piece, in boxes. The age-old I'm going to restore that someday project that never happened. 😜

Update: 1948 Cushman 50 series package care. Comes stock with 4hp engine, two speed transmission with reverse. We have done many into ice cream scooters. They came from the factory with many uses from farm produce boxes, military base use, factories, service stations, golf courses etc. Definitely a fun piece of Americana🤠👍

Customer supplied. 1950’s Red Ball Jet promotional electric car restoration. So futuristic and custom cool for the time period. It looks like they asked Gene Winfield or George Barris to design it. 😎👍

Before during and after pictures of a Wayne 861 Clockface gas pump we restored. It turned out beautiful, unfortunately, the original globe the customer purchased wasn’t available at the time of delivery for a picture. It’s definitely right at home in that row of restored pumps.

We have been blessed with another busy year. Unfortunately, I don’t find the time to post on here like I should. It’s my goal to work on that going forward.

Here’s a recent project we finished. We love these Chris Craft kiddie rides and fortunately the customer loved it as well. Its new home is in Maine. 🤠👍

Another fun rustoration project in the books. While these pumps didn’t received a thorough nut and bolt restoration, they still recieved a lot of care. These projects are fun to us We still get to detail them out and bring new life back to them, while maintaining their character. Definitely a cool focal point in their new home 🤠👍!
