"This shoe may look a little like something out of a nursery rhyme, but it is actually a promotional vehicle created for Daniel Neal, The Children’s Shoemaker, a business that originated in 1837 in London. The shoe was built on a 1921 Ford Model T with coachwork done by Riverside Motor Works. Presumably the message on the wheels is a brand of shoes."

The Austin Seven was often used as a promotional vehicle, this though was probably the only leather-bound chassis.

 

Spring wheels go back about 125 years earlier than that. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/10/19/earlier-and-resilienter/

 

There HAS to be an interesting story to go with that body work.

There must be a story behind this one! I knew that the British Army used pigeons for communication in WW1. The bus looks like a pre-WW1 LGOC double-decker from London Transport - I bet those pigeons thought it was great riding up on the top story like that. I wonder of the two guys on the right are German prisoners-of-war.

 

An anyone point me toward that thread? I can't find it.

...never mind.
