History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Wow, Twin! And PRE-fire too! What do you suppose the big hauler is in that early day?

 

It seems the T Fronty gow job is popular. From the same source come these 3 photos, which MrModelT believes is the same chassis, rebodied.

Goddamn. Is this done yet? Really. History is great. There are probably other places to post you thousands of pics that are not car related. Enough already. Really.

 

Read the title, don't think this has gone very far off topic. So far you're the only one complaining.

Group at a race or fair...

Stupid question corner here! What's the chain with the turnbuckle for?

 

The coolest car that's ever been posted on the HAMB....after MrModelT's gow. Great photos. Thanks Tim.

 

1938 Fiat 500 Tipo Corsa.

I'd like to see more pics if anyone has some.

T6, Thanks or posting those...was going to last night, just didn't get to it. That T is as "gowjob" as it gets. Now I know I gotta build another....great

 

The chain looks like it is part of the steering

 

Yes, it IS part of the steering.
Something solid and flexible to turn that front drum.

And no power steering either............

 

I wonder if you can even call her a "driver"?
What did she control?
She was along for the ride!

It was called, "The Auto Bolide" or sometimes titled "The Dip of Death"
It appears Mauricia de Tiers may have only performed this stunt once in the US at Madison Square Gardens in 1905 and a Miss Isabelle Butler took over doing it and the variation known as 'The Limit' depicted above.
