Logging trucks, trains, and look at the size of those logs!

Driving the model T cars onto the tree trunk is wild, but a team of horses? Did they think about how they were going to get those horses to back up the whole way off that tree trunk?

that train on top of the bridge is cool... but what the freak! How long did it take them to make that bridge? And they had to have it pretty level for that train, believe it.

Old fashioned spam came on a post card, from Ford, and tried to sell Model T owners new fenders, pistons, and axle overhauls

Real unusual things from trailer washers, motorized wheels, to tank track Rolls Royces

Never seen one before, and something about the age of a black and white photo tells me that these are obsolete
I have no idea at all what this is

Ok, but why take it out if you have to add skis?

Really early car phone

Odd stuff on this tow truck

1890's and I was told it's a velocipede
Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost snow machine. Most expensive snow machine conversion? or strangest use for a Rolls Royce?

I've never seen a photo of a tractor involved in a car crash

no idea what the motorbike in front is

Never seen a train engine like this... must be for moving train cars around in a train yard

For packing dirt roads?

Model T tank

Love the motor wheels... I'd so love to ride one! This one was investigated by Hemmings Blog and you can read more about it: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/11/22/m-goventosas-one-wheel-to-obscurity/ it went 93mph... I doubt that anyone did that more than once given the conditions of roads in Italy in 1931 to 1933, that's when the above photo was taken, 1931


Puegeot in 1934, great designed car, looks like the top is coming down

Wipers on the inside and outside... and that might be Ron Howard... like Tere commented, it sure looks like him during the Andy Griffith show

What the hell? Another elephant! In a 1914 Model T

Why am I seeing elephants in car photos so much lately?

Double Trouble, the '27 model T roadster made of eye magnet material

For a gallery of really good photography (hell of a lot better than I can do at a car show!) http://doubletroublehotrod.com/index.html with the photography of Anthony Mair









Inquistive guy huh?
