Found a nice vintage Sun vacuum/pressure gage.
Also a dwell tach that I just like the look and name of.

I found some more interesting (at least to me) items. I’m sure almost all of you remember the Scrypto VU lighters. Here is one that shows the Indy 500 start finish line on one side and a race car on the other. I think that style of car was raced in the 50s. Next is a neat little disposable funnel to put gas in your tank without spilling it. Also a AAA bumper sticker. I seem to recollect the “bring em back alive “campaign being around for quite a few years.

I’ve been divorced 3 times. I don’t have any vintage stuff.

Here is a “Dist-O-Map” from 1964. You turn the wheel until the city you are nearest lines up with the arrow. Every other marked city on that map then shows the distance from your origin point. The claim on the cover makes me laugh. “For men and women drivers”. What other kind of drivers are there? I think that is a 1964 Dodge Polara on the cover.

Some more stuff. I believe the 65 bumper guards are NOS

Here are a couple of items I added to my collection today that I think you will get a kick out of. Check out this rudimentary cruise control. It is completely mechanical, with absolutely no electrical connections. As you can see in the instructions, chains were connected to the accelerator and brake pedals. When you pulled on the knob, the gas pedal was held in position. The knob could then be turned clockwise to increase your speed or counterclockwise to decrease it. If you hit the brake, the accelerator was released. Of course you could also turn it off manually. While it might function fairly well on a flat road, any rises or declines in the road could greatly affect the actual speed of the car. I think I remember these being sold by JC Whitney. The second item is one that no garage should be without. A pinup Calendar. This particular one is kind of special because it is the 50th anniversary edition of the rigid calendar. I remember decades ago seeing a Ridgid Calendar that included as one of the models, Raquel Welch.

This can has a very unique method for measuring how much you have poured out of the can. The line parallel to the ground shows how many ounces have been poured out of the can

Here are two battery meters. One has alligator clips and the other has a cigarette lighter plug. Also a high energy ignition tester.

Trying to buy a Pepsi machine just like this.

Here's a brand new compass for your car so you don't get lost. Young kids now probably will look at this and say what's that.
