Tin Sign Info

General Motors has unveiled a special-edition Chevrolet Camaro to commemorate the pony car’s 45th anniversary. The 2012 model will feature a unique graphics package that includes a special red stripe and badging along with imposing 20-inch wheels. The vehicle’s lighting will also receive a few tweaks for the occasion, including dark-silver trim for the fog light and tail lamp bezels. Inside, buyers will find a Jet Black leather interior with red, white and blue stitched seats adorned with a 45th anniversary logo. Special white gauges are nestled in the vehicle’s dash, as well.

That’s all well and good, but the biggest news is that 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 featured in the Camaro will now boast 323 horsepower – an 11 pony increase over last year. That nudge rather conveniently puts the V6 Camaro ahead of the V6-equipped Ford Mustang at 305 horsepower.

In addition to the celebratory anniversary model, The General plans to introduce a new FE4 suspension package just for the SS Coupe. Along with re-tuned dampers on all four corners, the vehicle will now see a solid 23-mm stabilizer bar up front and a 24-mm bar out back along with 20-inch aluminum wheels.

Of course, if that’s not enough to wet your whistle, we probably don’t need to remind you that the epic ZL1 will also touch down next year. Hit the jump for the full press blast.

This authentic reproduction Camaro 45th anniversary metal sign makes a great gift for any car person.

The Pontiac Firebird was built by the Pontiac division of General Motors between 1967 and 2002. The Firebird was introduced the same year as the automaker’s platform-sharing model, the Chevrolet Camaro. This coincided with the release of the 1968 Mercury Cougar, which shared its platform with another pony car, the Ford Mustang.

The vehicles were powered by various four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and V8 engines of different GM divisions. While primarily Pontiac-powered until 1977, Firebirds were built with several different engines from nearly every GM division until 1982 when GM began to discontinue engines it felt were unneeded and either spread successful designs from individual divisions among all divisions or use new engines of corporate architecture.

This reproduction Firebird sign makes a great gift for any car lover.

I think for our anniversary this year I am going to buy my husband this metal sign for his pole barn. Our son forgets who’s garage it is. A lot of his stuff is stored in it. I have never been able to park my car in there at all. To me it looks like a lot of  junk in there. My husband says there’s a lot of good stuff in there. He might need some day. Thats  another topic to talk about.

Well if you are looking for gifts for any occasion, check out metal signs.

This Kahonee Bros Air Service sign reminds me of watching the show Alaska bush pilots. I know that not the name of the show. Any help with the name?  The beautiful landscape and wildlife just took my breath away.  We have always want to go to Alaska and spend a few months there. Its hard to believe that to get to some parts of Alaska you can only fly getting there. Where it is actual legal to carry a gun in your car. Its the last of wild west as some people call it.

With summer right around the conor people will be heading to the race track for NASCAR  or the local track to watch there favorites racers.  Sitting in the stands cheering them on and just plan having fun doing it all.

This retro sign can help you recall past and present events. It also makes a great gift for anyone.

Some people still like the old trucks. The town I live in I see a lot of old trucks driving around in the summertime.  Michigan is a little hard on vehicles in the winter. The classic cars and trucks always show up at Rosie’s Dinner in the summer months.  It’s neat to pull in there, have a look at them and go into the dinner and have a meal. It’s like going back in time to a more slower pace.

Well if you like  Chevy Trucks this vintage truck sign is for you.

U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway and also known as the “Main Street of America” or the “Mother Road”) was a highway within the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established on November 11, 1926 — with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, covering a total of 2,448 miles.  It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song (written by Bobby Troup, originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and later performed by such artists as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Manhattan Transfer and Depeche Mode) and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s.

Route 66 underwent many improvements and realignments over its lifetime, changing its path and overall length. Many of the realignments gave travelers faster or safer routes, or detoured around city congestion. One realignment moved the western endpoint farther west from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica.

Route 66 served as a major path for those who migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and it supported the economies of the communities through which the road passed. People doing business along the route became prosperous due to the growing popularity of the highway, and those same people later fought to keep the highway alive in the face of the growing threat of being bypassed by the new Interstate Highway System.

U.S. 66 was officially removed from the United States Highway System on June 27, 1985 after it was decided the route was no longer relevant and had been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Portions of the road that passed through Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, and Arizona have been designated a National Scenic Byway of the name “Historic Route 66″. It has begun to return to maps in this form. Some portions of the road in southern California have been redesignated “State Route 66″, and others bear “Historic Route 66″ signs and relevant historic information.

If you like the past, here’s a reproduction route 66 street sign for you.

This is not my usual article, but when I saw this tin sign it remind me of a movie I once saw. Still to this day I still remember this movie.

Race with the Devil is a 1975 occult thriller and action film starring Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Loretta Swit and Lara Parker. 

Synopsis of the movie

Roger Marsh (Peter Fonda) and Frank Stewart (Warren Oates), with their wives Kelly and Alice (Lara Parker, Loretta Swit), leave San Antonio in a recreational vehicle for vacation in Colorado. They decide to camp en route in a desolate area of central Texas, where they witness a Satanic ritual human sacrifice. After barely escaping with their lives, they report the incident to the local sheriff (R.G. Armstrong), who investigates their report but attempts to convince the men that they probably only saw hippies killing an animal. When the men refuse to accept the sheriff’s explanation, it becomes clear that he is a part of the Satanic cult. The couples agree to leave peacefully, but Roger steals a sample of dirt stained with the murder victim’s blood, intent on delivering it to the authorities in Amarillo. As the couples head towards Amarillo they are pursued by a steadily increasing number of cultists, who are networked throughout numerous small Texas towns. Eventually, Roger and Frank purchase a shotgun and stage a showdown with the cult members during a high speed chase that pits their RV against a convoy of trucks. Frank and Roger kill or wound all of the attackers and escape, stopping to celebrate when they pick up a radio signal coming from Amarillo. In the middle of their celebration, the couples hear chanting outside their RV and find themselves surrounded by cult members. The film ends as the cult lights a ring of fire around the vehicle, trapping the couples inside.

As I was looking for something to write about in my blog I came a cross this street sign full throttle . It made me think of new show Full Throttle Salon. So I went to google and found out theres a engery drink named Full Throttle too. I also found that theres a magazine, motorsports, and suspensions.

 So if your fan of Full Throttle Salon heres some info for you. Owner Michael Ballard bought 30 acres in 1999 and started to build what is now known as the Worlds Largest Biker Bar the Full Throttle Saloon. With TruTV, The Full Throttle Saloon is now a household name. You can also purchase a Full Throttle Salon Franchise. One Man – One Vision: To Create the World’s Largest Biker Bar
And he’s done it.  For the past ten years, Ballard, owner of the World’s Largest Biker Bar, the Full Throttle Saloon, has evolved, developed, fine tuned, operated, and driven himself non-stop.

The Full Throttle Saloon is different.  “Most bars are segregated by age. You have the dance club for young guys or the country club for the older fellas. Not at the Full Throttle.”

The Full Throttle is the number one blue collar biker bar in the United States. Everyone is welcome, but it’s well known that factory workers, construction workers and any kind of guy who busts his ass and saves his money all year is gonna be welcome at the Throttle.

Selling more beer…than…well…
We get about 15,000 people a night. They go through a lot of beer. We get two tractor trailers full of beer delivered every night of the rally. The beer companies know by now that there are so many motorcycles clogging the roads, they can’t send trucks during the day, so they come after 3:00 AM, when the bars have closed.

Indian motorcycles were manufactured from 1901 to 1953 by a company in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, initially known as the Hendee Manufacturing Company but which was renamed the Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company  in 1928. The Indian factory team took the first three places in the 1911 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy. During the 1910s Indian became the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world. Indian’s most popular models were the Scout, made from 1920 to 1946, and the Chief, made from 1922 to 1953. The Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company went bankrupt in 1953. A number of successor organizations have perpetuated the name in subsequent years, including the current company which has been manufacturing Indian motorcycles since 2006.
