The hierarchy in the way license plates once were allocated reflected late eighteenth century political thought in most states. New York allocated “1” to the governor and “2” to the lieutenant governor. President Franklin Roosevelt got “3”

Cool things with wheels since 2006

I don't think I've ever seen a camera car that was new, and not banged up from being on set
it took 12 years but I finally came across some good photos of the Wagenhals electric postal delivery cart
Steve looked these up way back in 2012, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/09/1913-wagenhals-electric.html

Leon Baldwin at Old Orchard Beach, 1911. the No.3, is a special 30 hp Stanley steam race car, one of two designed for long-distance events, specifically the Vanderbilt Cup races in 1906. In one of his runs on the beach, Baldwin set a speed record for a mile in 39 seconds, 92.3 mph.
a radio station mobile broadcast truck!
I found that there is a guy out there, the Radio Historian, who is collecting photos of radio station remote location cars
men that used to hand paint the billboard signs for Shell in the SoCal area
I've appreciated the hand painted signs for a LONG time, and this is the first time I've been able to share a photo of the guys that did the painting! With a cool work truck!
Interesting rack over the truck bed, with a large open area behind the cab, in front of the Shell sign

the Governor of Delware with his '29 Cadillac, and license plate #1, on a "Weaver brake tester" that used drive-over plates and liquid gauges to instantly show each wheel's braking power simply by driving the car on at steady speed then jumping on the brake pedal. (thank you CoSC!)

CoSC left me this terrific trivia info in the comment section!
for some reason the Porsche 550 scene in the movie Sin City doesn't show up online
there are a couple scenes where Wendy uses the Porsche to run into Marv, a couple times, then after a different scene, they are driving in the Porsche, and those for some reason, don't show up online.
Anyway, cool movie, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood, and surprisingly, a great cameo by Rutger Hauer. Lots of other stars, Madsen, Del Toro, Rosario Dawson, Jessica Alba, and Michael Clarke Duncan
