This baby is ready for the wind tunnel! Plus, it has "black and white cookie" wheels to keep it on the road. All designed like a miniature production model of clay. Still, this is a big 'un. Couple feet long! Also the only "modern" whirligig I've ever had. I date it to around the introduction of Dodge Chargers, though the profile is a bit chunky by comparison. Fearful passenger too!
20th Century Whirligig. Wood, Metal, Plastic Collection Jim Linderman
Hand Drawn Automobile Radiator Cover of Canvas with Hitler and Tojo World War Two Folk Art. Patriotic instructions "Do you Drive 35?" is likely a reference to gas rationing during World War Two. A shortage of gasoline was not the problem...it was rubber. It was believed the only way to preserve tires was to limit the amount of driving Americans could do, so drivers were limited by the amount of gas they could purchase. Circa 1940.
