I don't know if these steam engine wheels makes you want to go wanderin' or if they make you content to stay at home. Whether they remind you of travels past, bacon you hither, or quite the wanderlust, they look great in black and white.

What do you get when you mash up hot rods and monsters? In 1980, the answer would have been Weird Wheels trading card stickers. Featuring a checklist of colorful creations along the lines of the late '60s Odd Rods cards, the set blends Kustom Kulture with matinée horror. The cards themselves have monsters and other creatures driving absurdly customized cars, trucks, and motorcycles. As cool as the cards looked, they came out at a time when the Kustom Kulture was well past its peak, and the set flopped, but that doesn't mean they're still not cool! This one features the 'Loco-Motive' in an odd recreation of the classic damsel in distress on the train tracks from card #3.
