Sonora WAU-243 Radio

Most dieselpunkers worth their salt are familiar with at least a few of the following radio companies: RCA, Atwater Kent, Addison, Belmont, Zenith, Philco, FADA etc. It wasn't until recently that I'd heard about the Sonora radio company.Sonora began as the Sonora Chime Company back in the early 1900s, they made chimes for clocks. Later it became the Sonora Phonograph Company in 1913, guess what they made... In 1924…See More

1940 Motorola 50-X-2 Radio.

As it says in the title this is a 1940 Motorola model: 50-X-2, and its one of the most beautiful radios I've ever seen.The spring loaded handle on the top, and bullet style knobs are all original. The dial gives off a warm, orange, glow when the radio is switched on. If you notice the speaker design it's comprised of eight fins that taper down too the lefthand side. As somebody who's done a…See More

1952 Westinghouse Refrigerator Radio

I was on Etsy looking for something for a friend and I ran across this 1952 Westinghouse Little Gem or Refrigerator radio.It was labeled "Little Gem" by Westinghouse, but because it looked like a little refrigerator the "refrigerator" name stuck. Personally I think it looks like a fancy, retro, napkin dispenser.This is one I got on ebay for about $50, the one on Etsy.com is currently selling for $350. Sure there is about a 700% difference in price however mine doesn't work... but who cares?, it…See More

John Carter Movie Trailer

The trailer for the John Carter is out. They are going with John Carter and not the full title of the first book A Princess of Mars. I don't know if it falls under dieselpunk genere per se but there are definitely some art deco elemets in the trailer, which looks beautiful by the way. I really like the Edgar Rice Burroughs books and I hope the movie does them justice.The link to the trailer is below, they also have some artwork from the movie available for download on the trailer site. I've…See More

P-51 Mustang Collides and Crashes Over England

At the Flying Legends Air Show near Duxford over the weekend a P-51 Mustang collided with a Douglas A-1 Skyraider and crashed. The Skyraider suffered only minor damage. The Mustang's pilot bailed out and no one was injured, it's still very sad to loose one of the P-51s.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-14106730Below is a scene from one of my favorite movies of all time Empire of the Sun, Featuring the P-51.

Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective

Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective was the creation of pulp author Robert Leslie Bellem (1894 or 1902 -1968). The Dan Turner stories took place against the Backdrop of the Hollywood studio machine of the 1940's, written in the first person with a thick, racy, slang. "His carcass hadn’t stopped bouncing when I piped a bleached blonde quail barging toward me from a window embrasure in the back corridor where she’d been hiding. She was carrying a Leica minicam equipped with a flash-bulb and…See More

Captain Midnight Movie Poster

Being an illustrator the rule is same for everything else you do, if you want to get better you have to practice, practice, practice. So with the theatrical release of Captain America coming soon, I thought it would be a good exercise to see if I could re-invent one of the worst (and this is just my opinion) super hero emblems ever. I wanted to take Captain Midnight's chest shield, and see if I could make it look like a cool, modern, summer movie poster. If you're not familiar with Capt.…See More

1948 Crosley Car Brochure Gallery

I've uploaded a 1948 Crosley Car brochure with some really nice automotive illustrations.Crosley Motors Incorporated was created by Powel Crosley Jr. in 1939. Before that he had built his fortune making affordable radios. Rumor has it that he was disturbed by the $120 price tag for a radio he was going to buy for his son, so he set out to create a radio that anybody could afford, which he did. The average price of a Crosley radio was $7. He later moved on to refrigerators, and then cars.…See More

The Halls of Ivy - Listen and Download

Hi Everybody, I'm not sure if this is dieselpunk or not but I'll risk it to tell you about one of my favorite radio shows "The Halls of Ivy". "The Halls of Ivy" ran from 1950-1952 and stared Ronald Colman and his wife Benita Hume. It was created by Don Quinn, one of the co-cretors/writers of Fibber McGee & Molly. What separated this show from most radio comedies of the day was that it was a "smart" program. Don't get me wrong I like the sound of stuff falling out the closet on Fibber as…See More

It was an experiment in publishing,combining pulp sci-fi prose stories with comics. It is in the pulp fiction format (132 pages) with 32 of those pages being comics. Art is by Joe Kubert and John Giunta, and the prose stories are…See More

The Holden Efijy 2005 concept car
