Yeah! Women wearing pants, short hair, smoking cigarettes - and driving cars!
I love the twenties!

 

1917 or earlier REO with the eyebrow radiator shell and wings on the emblem.

 

I believe it is a T/Q, has a front engine whereas 1/2, micro midgets were r/e. I think what's deceiving is the little left side wheels which they used for stagger on small/tight tracks. If it were a right side pic I suspect it would look more in proportion to a early T/Q.

This is quite the contraption, a truck frame with a bulldozer attached, driven by the PTO to a jury rigged transfer case, to an axle. Steered in the same kind of Rube Goldberg way. Some people will do anything to be able to drive after a DUI.

 

ElCaballo Great run of pictures!

My mother, probably late 30's or early 40's, vehicle unknown.

1928 Essex. Here's an example....bumpers were still accessories at that point, so they are different here.

 

Done and done.

 

Founding of the Alabama Highway Patrol, 1935

 

Speed check.

 

There are quite a few being un-lost, including this one with a really great history! It's actually a C-53, but pretty much a military DC-3. It lacks the cargo door and reinforced floor of the C-47, but man look at that list of famous people that flew on her on the history page!
