I was on a bike path in Springfield when I saw these two cars arrive on an AMTRAK train. By the time I got to the station they were coupled to a CSOR engine.
This beautiful piece of history is a Revere 16mm Model 48 silent movie projector from the early 1950's. I saw it in an antique and vintage store. 16mm films were ones we used to watch in school back in the old days, pre-VCR. One of the things I love about old film gear is the way it was made, heavy and solid but also sleek and cool. Much of this look comes from the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne industrial design movement from the 1930's resulting from era of speed in transportation. Today we call it retro but you can see its roots clearly in the "technofuturistic curvedness" of Apple industrial design.

Near the hipped roof house, a small collection of "moderne" homes was built. All classic 1930s, speed lines, white stucco, curved metal framed windows with small panes, flat roofs and rounded edges. I love them! All the properties are now surrounded by more prosaic dwellings built in the 1960s and 1970s, but still they stand proud in their glory.
This is Rick Vesco's house. Rick is the brother of Don Vesco that recently passed away and was the driver of the fastest wheel driven car. I was just driving by, not knowing that this was his house when I saw the streamliner parked out in the driveway. I stopped and he was so nice to invite me into his garage. He was pouring concrete at the time. He showed us around and told me that he had built this house himself. This is now Vesco racing, home of some of the fastest cars on earth. If you are at all into motorsports, you will understand that he is one of the greats of Bonneville land speed racing. I just stumbled across him but I was very honored to meet him.
