These two aren't the same make, but they are nearly the same design. Close enough


And this is a threefer, but who's counting? road train, not a steam tractor... very similar though

Homeless RV and chaise lounge chair



This is the Shamrockaway, before and after 40 years of use and neglect http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/01/31/hemmings-find-of-the-day-the-shamrockaway/ for a writeup on it



a 1924 Scott Super Squirrel above, below is the 1926 that Von Dutch restored and lettered for Steve McQueen http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/bike-with-possibly-coolest-history-of.html

There was a lot of work to make a wheeled vehicle from this pre 1960's cabin cruiser

How about this... I'd love to see this in motion because I woder if those back wheels power slide like they did on Big Wheels... it was made by the Parker Brothers

The above was a young woman named Della Crewe who decided to drive from Waco Texas to New York with her dog Trouble in 1915. It was 5300 some odd miles.

Also notable for being a Harley with a sidecar, ... but these are different sidecars

the above and below are ambulance sidecars

I think, but didn't verify, that this license plate collection has one California plate from each year

There is a story about the above outdoor phone booth... it was knocked off it's foundation after a birth of a baby celebration got a bit inebriated behind the wheel.... anyway, the next day the phone company man was smooth talked and he told them about the below indoor wooden phone booth that was taking up space in the phone company basement... and they got it to add to the collection!
































I didn't get the info on what kind of bike the above is

Above appears to be a 1938 Ford







Awesome BBQ cooker


The above is the tow truck in the bottom photo of this post
