Yes, back to business. Locomobile made into a fine truck (shy dog extra).

 

Franklin, would you please stop Mugsey from humping Mother while the photographer is taking the photo?

 

OK kids I'm really tired of shooting the bull with you for now.......

 

The last of my animal photos and filling up at the Brooklands circuit.

 

Let's all go back to work or I will have to send these gentleman after you.....

...or the dreaded balloon destroyers. What did those guys do for fun when not working?

 

Well they're just a bunch of baboons so they go hang at their man cave........

 

Can you prove this pic was taken before WWII?

 

A couple of tropical mysteries....

WATCH OUT GUYS...... WE HAVE THE AUSTRALIAN POLICE ON OUT ON OUR BUTTS.....

 

A Warner Speedometer Promo Car......

 

Post 57 - I'd been wondering what those folks were waiting for at Pacheco Pass, in California. I think it might have been the fuel truck that started out years earlier (in low). How many dogs?

 

Just take it easy on right turns....

 

I know, it's been posted everywhere (but here). Too good not to include.

 

THANK YOU TWIN 6!!!!!!!! That is the Ira Vail Hudson that he raced in the 1919 INDY 500. He sold it to H.D.Carpenter in Philadelphia who used it on the street and local race tracks. If someone has a collection of Motor Trend, it is in the Letters to the Editor section in the 1940's, it was found on a used car lot. Cameron Peck bought it, then Lyndley Bothwell had it, Bill Harrah was the next caretaker. It sold in one of the auctions for $27,500. I have all the paper on the car from the Carpenter days. All I need are the proper PowerBall numbers to own it.

 

Now honestly, I don't think people have had this much fun since the hi-jinx of "Calendar Girls With Tools" thread (which got cancelled. The dead cow pic went too far, though, and I'm reporting you ALL to PETA (People FOR eating Tasty Animals) !!!

 

Heeeey! What's that pulling the trailer?
(Thanks to a stie, pinecrestretreat.)

I believe this is a Biddle, made in Philadelphia, c.1918. This has an unusual feature - a windshield for the rumble seat passengers. And a dog.

 

A really neat camper built on a White truck chassis.

 

Two photos of a big 1913 Pope Hartford six cyl. speedcar with fido.

 

These guys need help...

If you've got tire trouble, you need the right Jack.

 

More stripped down rigs - a Parry on the left, made in Indianapolis, and a mystery on the right. Can't quite make out the script on the radiator, but maybe someone will recognize it.
