Four-Links – Floyd over the top, Mulholland Drive, Britain from the air, lowrider prerunner

* Most motorcycle enthusiasts have surely seen one or two of Richard and Phyllis Milne’s pictures of Floyd Emde alllllmost making it to the top of a hillclimb on his Indian in 1948. The whole sequence of photos, though, which The Old Motor published this week, shows how that top topple went down.

* Car Build Index this week took a brief look at the glory days of racing on Mulholland Drive just outside of Los Angeles and some of the personalities who raced there.

* It’s a year old now, but a book that includes only photos of Britain from the air has a lot to tell us about how automobiles shaped the country over the last 50 years.

* Up high, or down low? Who’s to say that you can’t have both? Stance Is Everything recently took a look at layedoutLarry’s airbagged Ford Ranger, which can go from lowrider to prerunner in seconds.

* Finally, the Westfield Fire Department in Westfield, Indiana, has gone crowdfunding to support the restoration of its 1951 Studebaker fire truck.
