Ain't that the cutest thing you've seen today?
1950 Nash dealership
Navy Shore Patrol helping a fellow sailor into a Medical Department ambulance




I think this is the earliest american flag tank I've seen, and it looks great on this bike







a Ford dealership in 1932
Ozark mountineer burro train ride (can't read the last word)
The Rebel Gal crew and the partially completed nose art that shows how one artist made the painting the right scale

Steam punk, making things look victorian and brass era, steam powered... that's the idea. It has a lot of aspects though, here's a few
1930's France it seems, because just to the left of the motorwheel is a Citreon Traction Avant
Steam powered ditch digger.. .that is a monster
Cadillac tow truck, for more cars converted into tow trucks see: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/tow-trucks-were-sometimes-made-from-big.html
Johnny Cash and the 1986 Steam Expo. Very cool. Two times.
the above is the Lanz bulldog, 1 cylinder, compression ignition powered
all of these are just an indication of how cool http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/ is Posted by alex at 8:39 PM 0 comments

ignore the rider, what do you think about this unique morphing of a motorwheel and a motorcycle
found on http://motorcycle-74.blogspot.com/
if you get a kick out of unusual "Motorwheels" from the innovators who kept trying to perfect a great big wheel you rode inside of, take a look through http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/motor%20wheel

Real unusual things from trailer washers, motorized wheels, to tank track Rolls Royces
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
Click for full size to read the story
Two of the rare Jeeps the (1959) FC 59, but the below is even more rare

Model T tank
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, 1931Posted by alex at 9:00 PM 0 comments
