Pimp your Model T
Road warrior Tim Steil sent me an e-mail with a similar title, so I'm giving him the credit for the name of this post. He sent a link to an entry on Bobby Green's Automotive Addictions and General Tomfoolery blog that shows accessory turn signals for cars of the 1920s and '30s. There are a … Continue reading Pimp your Model T
