How Ford delivered new cars... bet you (like me) never saw this before!Allrides has some cool stuff you oughta see
Just the thing to keep a farmer dry when using the tractor in the rain.
There are some things that have been done with VW vans that are a surprise to me, but making a bead blaster cabinet is pretty cool and useful, the waterfall in the garden... mighty unusual



a full size 4 door Caprice snow machine is a first.
see these and all the rest at http://allride.skynetblogs.be/index-12.html The 1936 BMW snow machine

I found these photos before, but never could find the top one to make them a pair in a post, because in the top photo, you can't tell that there is a sidecar, and I didn't know it was a BMW

Snowmobiles can fly. Anything that goes farther than the Wright brothers at Kittyhawk is really flying
On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.
Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet

Levi LaVallee went 361 feet on a snowmobile

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?
Odd stuff on this tow truck
Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost snow machine. Most expensive snow machine conversion? or strangest use for a Rolls Royce?
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?
Early Daytona Beach racers with superchardged Auburns, before NASCAR took over racing on Daytona Beach

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, 1931Streetcars, were good for more than just public transportation... did you know they were used to plow snow along their route?
read about plowing snow with street cars: http://cincystreetcar.wordpress.com/2009/01/
I like that many were made into little diners. See the inside of one at the Henry Ford museum https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnTfj4UdCAYe8OzhSx4x9KMAE48iIiPk9kTJ3T3ahXCSbgLmcbheVViCZKvnk1YdoB7DbKBSN41txh0iAQtk6mtkkcWXtdC-QLwoeJrFRH3cXv7bu-_jVFRnslnBEixDMnnDCnLnsDFho/s1600/Henry%2520Ford%2520Diner%5B1%5D.jpg it is the nicest I've seen, most are far more simple and less ornamentalSome were made into houses: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/09/street-cars-getting-second-life-as-home.html
And in San Diego I found one diner street car, and two homes made from street cars http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/survivors-of-era-i-doubt-anyone-else.html
