Vintage Brass General Quick-aid Fire Extinguisher "1949 - 1952" Chris-craft" on 2040-parts.com
Minneapolis, Minnesota, US
This is a vintage EMPTY brass fire
extinguisher made by The General Detroit Corp. and it is the Quick-Aid
model 85. It is the 1qt. size and is about 14” long and comes with
it's mounting bracket which has a new coat of maroon paint. This has
been polished and lacquered. This has no dents and no dings and as you
can see in the pictures, it displays very well. The label still
retains most of it's original paint. Someone did a lot of research
on the web site www.vintagefe.com
and that site states that General fire extinguishers were featured in
Chris-Craft catalogs from 1937 thru 1960. This would be the correct
model of extinguisher that would have gone a 1949 thru 1952
Chris-Craft boat. This would made a great addition to your vintage
boat that needs that extra something. Please check out my ebay store for other vintage fire extinguishers.

VIDEO: Andrea Zagato and his 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 SSZ
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Our friends over at Petrolicious have gone and produced another beautiful video, this time focusing their lens on Andrea Zagato and one of his father’s creations, the 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 SSZ. Shot both in Zagato’s Milanese facility and also on the road, Essential Beauty is a visually stunning and also insightful film into the philosophy of a company that, even though now in the hands of the third generation of family ownership, is unwavering in its ideology. If your Italian’s not quite up to scratch, head to YouTube and turn on the English subtitles.

(Former) Honda F1 Team ready to roll for 2009
Fri, 27 Feb 2009Blimey, there’s been some real speculation over the fate of the Honda F1 team since Honda revealed it had decided, for financial reasons, to withdraw from F1 with immediate effect. We’ve had Prodrive/Aston Martin boss David Richards firmly in the frame, followed closely by a Mexican billionaire called Slim with a Senna in his pocket! But both those, quite reasonable speculations, turned to nothing.
