Now while this olelongrooffan realizes that the stuff I post here in the Hooniverse will never make it to that Featured Headline across the top of this page, that ain’t gonna stop me from sharing some of the (at least I think) cool stuff I see from time to time while out and about. At least until my Hooniverse Overlords yank the key to the vault from my grimy hands.
A whiles back I was out and stumbled upon a rather cool old warehouse and I couldn’t but help to gather some images of it to share with my fellow Hoons. Among other things.


Yeah, Mark’s place has over 1,200 antique outboard motors along with all those old radios and this midget race car that, of course, was powered by an outboard motor engine.

It is an Evinrude Elto and I presume its aluminum construction makes it a worthy power plant for this classic race car.

Much like its full grown drag racing brethren race cars, this one has its driveshaft running between the legs of its pilot. Old school technology at its finest. This olelongrooffan will pass on that one.

In addition to all that cool stuff, there are even museum quality old cars in attendance. This Packard ragtop was in pristine condition

save the door trim contained in this shipping container.

However, it did have that kick butt “Goddess of Speed” hood ornament. While this olelongrooffan has seen many Packard swans ornamenting the hood of a Packard, seeing this Goddess was the first in recent memory.

And, of course, sighted out amongst all of that cool shit

is this vintage GMC Motorhome. Yeah, another one is spotted.

Nestled among all of the collectible stuff contained in that warehouse is this rare Kaiser in near mint condition.

And with car companies such as Lincoln and Cadillac going with nomenclature of the numeric or alpha variety, when was the last time a car company had the chutzpa to name one of its offerings something like a “Dragon”?

with a wicker looking dashboard as an aside?

After the host was pleasant enough to let this olelongrooffan have a look around, I meandered back out on the road and just a ways away I spotted this old Fairlane parked beside

this sweet Divco. This olelongrooffan is curious. Is there any marque, other than DeLorean, that has a one word name that represents near supreme coolness? Yugo?

Meanwhile, let’s head on over to Bob Barker Boulevard. Apparently, “Come On Down” Bob attended high school and college in the Queen City of The Ozarks and has a street named for him in this Burg.

Now let this olelongrooffan apologize for the vegetation obscuring the view of this cool old Task Force GMC but I had to include this image due to the rarity of a multi ton GMC Task Force design remaining to this day.

And which of my fellow Hoons doesn’t appreciate a muffler car?

While I was headed back to my near lakeside cabin at the Beach, this olelongrooffan did spot this abandoned old truck which I think is a Diamond T. Or maybe a REO? Either way, it was a cool way to end up a sight seeing day here in the Ozarks.
