Sam Bennett in 1921, Sidnaw, upper penninsula of Michigan, a great place for outdoorsman who trap, hunt, and fish

from the http://kentonhistoricalsociety.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=3188241

Sam is my great-great uncle, and I had no idea there was a photo of him, much less one in the internet that I would stumble across.

He was a trapper for the state of Michigan, which is confirmed by the 4 wolf furs and the front license plate on that car. (Mich dept of conservation 8)

Sam lost an arm, it may have been WW1, and was setting his traps with only one arm/one hand ... what a difficult thing that must have been to do, I've set traps too, they aren't easy, and they are really damn dangerous.

Nik finds cool stuff, that is what he does

the original is bigger and I cropped out a telephone pole, but just look at the abandoned gas station, in 1937. Ain't that just Hank Williams "So lonely I could die" lonely? Via: http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/ who found it on Shorpy... awesome website of old photographs.

Looks like two Willys Knight tiny cars... not 1927-28 whippets, wrong grill, but I'm not sure what model

cool old tow trucks

I love the COE look

both of these last two are convertible cars that were converted, wouldn't that blow your mind if you came across it on the street today?

John was catching some light under all four tires

When is the last time you saw advertising for a Nash?

Nice streamlining around the spreader bar

I'd love to see a full gallery about this racecar!

What a beauty!

No idea why the rotary engine is flanked by elephant tusks.

Goofy 60's kooky kustom show cars. I dig the Woodlight headlights on the one below

All bent out of shape, and I doubt it landed on the rubber

What an idea, a scooter that is strong enough to pull a small teardrop
