A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of a written caption or comment (added to the front or back of a photo, the funnier or snarkier the better) . Handwritten caption: "Some Trouble!" License plate: "2352. Mass." (the year on the plate is illegible). Looks like the photographer had some trouble with an unintended triple exposure. The photo was cut from an album and trimmed unevenly like this when I purchased it.

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of dog behind the wheel (or a canine or feline anywhere in or near a car or other type of vehicle) . The driver in this snapshot is looking at the camera but the dog in the back seat is peering at something more interesting in the opposite direction. There's no date on the photograph, and I haven't been able to determine the make or model of the car.

A couple of turkeys arrive at (or depart from?) the United States Capitol Building , Washington, D.C., in this illustration from a Thanksgiving postcard dated 1910. The postcard is addressed on the other side to "Mrs. Geo Hamlin, 9 Dean[e] St., Portland, Me.," and postmarked in New York City on November 23, 1910. Handwritten message: "Rena & Geo out for a ride. Best love to both of you & hope you have a happy Thanksgiving. Kitty." Rena (1882-1974) and George Hamlin (1882-1958) were both twenty-eight years old and had been married for about three years when they received this postcard. It's possible that Kitty, the sender of the card, was Catherine Lewis , Rena's mother.

"With all good wishes for a joyous Easter. His morning drive." A real photo postcard of a boy with his toy wagon and rooster.

For the other side of this wheel chart , see the Keystone Automobile Club Safe Driving Calculator (below). "How Quickly Can You Stop? The average stopping distances in the Keystone Calculator are based on the average breaking distance plus the distance covered in ¾ of a second, which is the average 'reaction time,' the period which elapses between the instant danger is observed and the actual application of the brakes. . . . Keystone Automobile Club. The Motorist's Friend Since 1906."

For the other side of this wheel chart , see How Quickly Can You Stop? (below). "Keystone Automobile Club Safe Driving Calculator. Miles per hour: 55. Feet per second: 81. Average stopping distance: 271. See other side."

An undated red-border Kodachrome slide (probably late 1950s or early 1960s).

Honk!

Cover of an advertising brochure extolling the virtues of the "Studebaker Automatic Drive"--"the newest and most advanced automatic transmission." This Studebaker has "No clutch pedal, of course! But there's nothing new to learn. You just drive in the usual way--without any clutching, declutching, or shifting gears. Marvelous for 'new' drivers." "Studebaker Automatic Drive. The newest and most advanced!" License plate on front of car: "1950." Stamped on cover: "Goodwin Park Garage, 908 Maple Ave., Hartford, Conn."
