Engine Hats
Description: Like other performance pioneers, Ed Iskenderian was a Southern California hot rodder in the years leading up to World War II, learning speed secrets in an effort to make his own T roadster go faster. Grinding camshafts came after the war when a sudden demand for parts - fueled by returning GIs eager to get back to hot rodding - was so great that Iskenderian was faced with a long wait for a cam he wanted for his own car. Figuring he could do as just as good himself, he bought a surplus cylindrical grinder, converted it into a cam-grinding machine, and went to work. He wasn't just making a similar cam to those available at the time - he made them better, rightfully earning him the nickname of 'The Camfather.'
Description: Founded in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1975, Choo Choo Customs started out by creating luxurious van conversions with high-end interior and exterior options that made other rolling room builds look second rate. Eventually, the company began customizing full size pickups with all the upgrades from their vans, plus extended cabs that otherwise wren't available from the factory. At the request of the manufacturer, Choo Choo Customs began building El Camino SS conversions in 1983 and ran with them until the El Camino left production in 1987. America entered a recession in 1990 and van conversion companies were hit hard, so Choo Choo Customs went bankrupt in 1991, leaving a legacy of amazing custom vehicles that are still sought by collectors.

Description: Realistic Fire and EMS Graphics created by Bass D. (originally for lstsim.de, online dispatch simulator). Drawings started from scratch and are drawn to scale 600px = 1mtr for the game. It took so much work and the results are very nice. I put them online to let more people enjoy it. There is absolutely no intend to take advantage of or infringe the intellectual property.
Description: The Kiekhaefer Mercury company began in 1939 when engineer Carl Kiekhaefer purchased a small outboard motor company in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Kiekhaefer's original intention for the Kiekhaefer Corporation was to make magnetic separators for the dairy industry. The purchase included 300 defective outboard motors. Kiekhaefer and a small staff of employees rebuilt the motors and sold them to Montgomery Ward, a mail-order company. The motors were much improved, so the buyer purchased more. Kiekhaefer designed motors that withstood the elements better than his competition and called the motor Mercury (taking advantage of the "Mercury" Motor Car popularity at the time) whilst adopting the logo of the Roman god Mercury.
