I'm impressed by the nice wooden tool chest on the running board as well. But can you imagine the misery factor traveling in snow weather in an open car with no heater? Cool photo, Ann Kennedy!
I like the way the ladies are looking at the snow. I wonder if this is the first time they saw any of it? And isn't that old car cold to be driving in with the winter upon them? Thant heavens for modern cars and heaters. : )
Margaret Siemers If these folks are who I suspect they may be, that branch of the family was always traveling by car (or train) to Colorado. I wonder if they arrived one time to discover the snow.
Thex Dar I was just starting to write the explanation that I remembered concerning on which side the wheel should be. On earlyer cars, like this one, even in a country where traffic would keep right, the wheel would be on the right side because the hand break being outside the car, the driver would be stronger to use his right hand to pull it. When the cars became more modern, the wheel was moved to the left side to improve visibility when attempting to pass a slower vehicle.
Terrific ! Wiki has all the answers ! Always ! If you decide to read the explanation to this problem, you'd better start early because it'll take you the rest of the day !
I'm not going to comment any posts any more. I'll just say "Wiki", "Wiki" and "Wiki" again ! Laurent
Thex Dar That's interesting isn't it? I don't think the photo could be flipped could it? I'm posting another of the same circumstance and we'll figure it out. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteNo wonder they are wrapped up warm. The ladies seem to be in two minds about whether they should get out of the car,
ReplyDeleteAnd what if the car breaks down in the snow in the middle of nowhere ?

Mike Martin I know! Now it seems inconceivable to travel without EVERY comfort:-)

But then I had a look at Wiki.
