Cool old russian vehicles!
1913 Russobalt Type-Kegresse
1939–1946. Total 33 840 units were produced. This truck is powered by gas generator that used firewood (or coal) to produce gas that powers the engine. Because of this it has low power and speed, it is difficult to service and not so easy to start up. But because the lack of gasoline in some north regions this truck was indispensable.
Yag -12 all four front tires steer, 1932 to 1941
Produced 1949–1953. This interesting car is kind of GAZ-M20 Bobeda based six seat minivan
This is a 1956 4 wheel drive airplane towtruck, and can be switched to just front wheel drive. (only 13 made)

Some cool rat rods, from the dedicated Tumbler... Rat Rods Rule!
Doesn't that make you smile?
Must be owned by a diver, or a really innovative customizer
What better way to show pedestrians where the bus stop is? 
See a gallery of the above South carolina prison bus rat rod at John's: http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2009/11/yeah-turkey-rod-run-is-coming-this.html
The above green car... looks like a new idea in rat rods, take a newer than 1960 vehicle and made a rat rod from it by getting rid of all the body work forward of the firewall. This one looks like a Buick, but I can't recall the model
I don't think I've ever seen a rod quite like this, unless you count the early dragsters from the 50's that were using a long wheel base chassis to set back the body for weight transfer to aid traction. 
Wow. I think I posted a photo of this one before, I think it's a Seagrave roadster ... how cool are the various cans to the back of the gas tank?! Saturday, July 10, 2010
North Park annual Cops and Rodders car show
I've never seen this on the trailer, it sure makes it look small
The whole side of the park had restored Police cars... great display, and I once got to take photos of the place they restore them http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/07/stumbled-across-restoration-and-repair.html
I don't recall seeing the center head light before, it's oval shape... unusual
San Diego SWAT vehicle... made me realize San Diego has a swat team, I didn't know we did
1969 bus
Twisted Minds bike club, that's Mike in the black jacket
why do this to a vette? yes, it's an ugly 70's vette, but looks even worse as a 4x4
Both the black cars are Dodges
this is the first time I've seen this Shriners truck
It's a 4 dr... and I didn't realize that til I walked around it
