Nice pictures. Nice diversity. 66/67 Riviera's are absolutely one of the sexiest body styles ever produced by GM. What's the story on that Nash? I see a scoop but?

Looks like a lot of fun, some nice cars. Thanks for sharing. Like Dan, I like the Chevy Corvair Rampside. I've seen another (maybe same) one on another car show thread this year on CO.

First time I've seen the motorcycle with the Rampside, though.

The motorcycle is of a unique model year (it isn't an Indian) - I'm neither certain of the manufacturer nor the year, but the style is unique to a very few years of motorcycle manufacturing. Of note: the single cylinder engine is actually incorporated into the frame i.e. the engine is integral into the frame. Indian Motocycle did this but I don't recall which year(s), other motorcycle manufacturers did the same - I just can't recall which years & who they were. It didn't last long as s. cylinder machines weren't very popular.

Give me a Schwinn Typhoon with a Bendix two speed kickback and I will be good.

#1 Its a "moped" not a motorcycle. They had about 50 cc engines, and were capable of 30 mph maximum. It looks similar to those that were imported from "eastern European" countries. Sears, Roebuck & Co. sold them under the "Allstate" brand name. The "Allstate" mopeds were manufactured by "Puch". From the looks of this moped, it appears to be from the late 50's to early 60' because of the valanced fenders and shape/style of the seat.

Sears imported the 175 and 250 cc Puch motorcycles in the 50's and 60's and sold them under the "Allstate" brand.

Very good catch. It definitely resembles the Puch styling.
