One of my classic car friends sent me this email and I thought I would share it with the Touch of Classics Coummunity.
I hope you enjoy….I did.

Where Do Old Bumper Cars Go?
The ones in Coney Island and Rockaway Park back in the 20’s thru to the 50′s
ran on electricity. They had a pole on the back going to a metal electrical charged overhead plate or expanded metal.
Remember driving the bumper cars at amusement parks or
a fair?
They were so much fun…..
Well, now what do you do with old Bumper Cars?
(check out the license plates!)
WHO KNEW?
Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal.
They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we’ve seen in too long. There are seven of these little monsters floating around California and they’re all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.
They were originally powered by two cylinder Harley Davidson
Motorcycle engines but they rattled like heck because of the two cylinder
Vibration and Tom replaces them with four cylinder Honda or Kawasaki 750′s
And a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH, which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.
By the way, they are almost indestructible in accidents!
Saving...
The red 47′ Ford Coupe in the background is my old car. Wish I had it back.
Wow!!!
What are the chances of that?
John are you looking to buy a classic now?
Let me know if I can help.
Thanks,
