En 1953, el Brigadier Juan Ignacio San MartÃn, responsable de la Industria Aeronáutica y Mecánica del Estado IAME, le propuso al presidente Juan Domingo Perón la fabricación de automóviles. Esto para aprovechar las instalaciones metalmecánicas del IAME.
A fin de acortar tiempos de desarrollo se importaron un automóvil y una rural DKW y se adaptó su tecnologÃa. Originalmente el motor era de dos cilindros con baja potencia que resultaba insuficiente para el sedán. Entonces el Ing. Raúl Magallanes propuso un motor de dos tiempos pero con cilindros tipo en "U", solución usada por la fábrica austrÃaca Puch en sus motores de 125 y 250 cc.
El motor de Magallanes era completamente original pero con cuatro cilindros, dos cámaras de combustión y una cilindrada de 800 cc y se lo denominó M-800.
Para la carrocerÃa se inspiraron en el Chevrolet 51 y los diseñadores aeronáuticos del IAME le dieron su particular imagen.
Para los coches sport se aplicó una novÃsima tecnologÃa del plástico reforzado (poliéster) con fibra de vidrio, a fin de bajar el peso. Luego de varios prototipos se definió por una versión de techo duro 2 + 2 del cual se fabricaron sólo 167 unidades antes del cierre compulsivo.

I´m a huge fan of auto tuners so of course I just had to build my own auto tuning shop. The shop is modular, but in a different way than the Lego modular sets in the fact that it includes a front connection for a street. The shop is completed with a working dyno (dynamometer) controlled by a Lego m motor and a lift. It also includes a computer station for data analysis, hydraulic jack, tool box, gas tank, and a whole bunch of tools and parts. The lobby is extremely simple because that´s the only way I´ve ever seen lobbies at auto shops. I also used the Lego Ford GT MKII for the photos just because it´s my favorite car and I thought it fit nicely in the shop.

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.

The Blackhawk Auto Museum is located in an influential and upscale area (I don't know why they let me in) ;) I was surrounded by nearly 100 mint condish' classic automobiles. Though this capture does not spotlight a particular vehicle, I liked how the banquet table blended in with the low-light atmosphere...
Emulation of William Eggleston's work
The return of color!
Mission:
Emulate the work of William Eggleston (American, 1939-).
Like Pete Turner, William Eggleston is another 20th century photographer that helped to bring legitimacy to color photography. While Eggleston did begin photographing in black and white, he began using color in the 1960's. In the 1970's, Eggleston discovered dye-transfer printing, about which he stated "every photograph I subsequently printed with the process seemed fantastic and each one seemed better than the previous one" [source]. One of his most famous works, The Red Ceiling was printed using this method. His photos printed with the dye-transfer have a very heavy saturated quality to them.
However, more important than color is Eggleston's subjects, which are characteristically mundane. John Szarkowski wrote about Eggleston's work: "[it] is consistently local and private, even insular, in its nominal concerns[...]. [Eggleston's work] might [be] in a diary, where the important meanings would be not public and general but private and esoteric. It is not clear whether the bucolic modesty of the work's subject matter should be taken at face value or whether this should be understood as a posture, an assumed ingenuousness designed to camouflage the artist's Faustian ambition" (William Eggleston's Guide, introduction).
While his saturated colors do add an additional element to his work, Eggleston's most significant trait is his ability to give significance to this mundane world. According to Eudora Welty: "The extraordinary, compelling, honest, beautiful and unsparing photographs all have to do with the quality of our lives in the ongoing world: they succeed in showing us the grain of the present, like the cross-section of a tree.... They focus on the mundane world. Eggleston's work deals with subtlety -- peel back the ordinary image that you see when you view Eggleston's work and see the story that lies beneath it.
Your assignment is to create a photograph in the William Eggleston style. Successful submissions should look like an Eggleston image visually (color and saturated) and also have a level of subtlety.
WIT
I found that the mundane doesn't always have to be ugly. That was my biggest contention with Eggleston. I can go along with the color and saturation, even some of the down-trodden looks... but so many of his images were just plain ugly that I can't appreciate them nor the story that may lay behind them. My take on life is to reveal the beauty, uncover the flower among the weeds, sort to speak.
The one image of his that I do like is the nearly monochromatic image of a kitchen sink piled with dishes in a very sparse room with the sunlight coming through. The whole image is soft and golden... that was communicating feeling to me.
My struggle wasn't to find the mundane, but to find the mundane worth shooting (in my opinion). I took several, but only uploaded a few here. This is the one I am most satisfied with.
