  1. I think I'll pass on the "good old days" John. These look a bit rustic for me! I really chuckled at the tourist car.

  2. And I thought our roads got pretty bad a few years ago with the spring thaw! Looks like they were terrible in 1927. I believe in the early 1900s and late 1800s Iowa had some of the worst roads in the nation--making it a good place for outlaws like Jesse James to hide out.

    I really like the shot of the man feeding the bear!

  3. I cannot believe I never took my brothers cars a pic back then. I took everything else.

    My one brother had a model T. car. Good old days John. When rugged roads were there. I have them here if I go to the camps they have off highway. Only one person can go in car if another one is coming.

  5. Amazing how few times we (humans) ask ourselves, just because I can do it, does it mean I should?

  6. Now the tourist car may have all the equipment to survive in the wilderness , but will the car ever get there?

  8. Hello John, just stopping by to say "HI!" I like photo number one the best! Oh, in case someone is still in possession of one of these cars. He could be a millionaire. Vintage cars are very expensive.

  10. Those old cars are really something. Even I am not as old as they are. Our first car was a Studebaker, not a Model T. :-)
