The pressed-aluminum front grill. I think this actually serves a purpose, as the engine has to be cooled somehow...
Last Saturday, my dad and I went up to Astoria to look at a Volkswagen Rabbit that was for sale there. (We did end up buying it.) On the way back, my dad decided to go look at a sailboat he'd seen on Craigslist. It was part of an estate, and since the guy who was there had been working in a barn full of stuff, I asked if I could poke around. I spied this in a box and was intrigued.
Upon digging it out, I found that it was powered by a tiny little single cylinder engine. Anyways, the guy who was there was willing to let us have it for a small sum, so now I've got another cool antique thingy! Since everything seems to be there, I may try to get it running sometime.
The paint is in poor condition, but that just adds to the nostalgia.
