While sorting parts for the Triumph projects, came across this stuff, what do they call it on "Antiques Roadshow"? Ephemera. Yeah, pretty amazing stuff like this survives at all. The James Dean shot is a post card I picked up at the Steinbeck Museum in Salinas a couple of years ago. He's on his 1955 Triumph. In the museum they have the old Chevy pickup/camper that Steinbeck traveled around the US in, with his dog Charlie. "Travels with Charlie" was the inspiration for my blog title of course. Have had the "Fonz" card forever, don't remember where I picked it up at. The other cards picked up at a swapmeet somewhere...Don't know who that skinny kid on the candy orange Honda is...oh ok, it's me...about 50-60 pounds lighter...and well yep...about hundred years ago...
