Nascar inspired 1960 Starliner build... every car looks better with 60s racing numbers and a sponsor down the quarter panels

Ryan’s Starliner started off as an unfinished project, he swapped out the tired old 325 for a 390 sporting 3 Rochester 2 barrels. Replacing the engine was just the start of this primarily mechanical restoration as Ryan added air ride suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, custom side pipe exhaust that runs through the frame, new wheels and tires and a floor mounted shifter. The interior looks mostly original as he left the bench seat and didn’t install a roll cage. He did, however, make some of the neatest door panels around.

Larrabee Deyo trucking company, whatever happened to them? Anyone ever heard of them?

Business was booming for this local manufacturer, and with their trucks, “Made in Binghamton” was being heard around the world. The new company grew out of two successful Binghamton manufacturing concerns. Sturtevant-Larrabee had a reputation for manufacturing high-quality horse-drawn wagons, carriages and sleighs since the 1870s. The Deyo-Macey Engine Co. built gasoline engines in a plant on Washington Street. Now, with H.C. Larrabee as president and R.H. Deyo vice president and general manager, the new company was advertised as having “the advantage of the services of men experienced in both the construction of gas engines and in carriage building.” In 1923, nationally known...

Biggest mudslide in California history wipes out state Highway 1, also known as the beautiful coastal highway, near Big Sur

The mudslide the crashed on California State Route 1 on Saturday has resulted in $1 billion dollars in highway damage. The weekend slide buried parts of the coastal highway under a 40-foot layer of dirt and rock. Recent aerial shots from above show a massive mud dome that created a wide skirt over the road, down the cliff, and onto the shore below. The mudslide is being billed as the biggest in recorded state history. "It's one of a kind," Susana Cruz, a spokeswoman with the California Department of Transportation, told Associated Press. “We haven't been able to go up there and assess. It's still moving," Cruz said. http://m.sfgate.com/news/us/article/Massive-slide-covers-stretch-of-Highway-1-near-11165911.php https://twitter.com/abc7newsbayarea https://sf.curbed.com/2017/5/24/15686966/mudslide-big-sur-landslide
