Historical Kienzle advertising car. In 1937/38, 2 of these cars were built with a Mercedes chassis and a body from Gaubschat, Berlin-Neukölln. The vehicle was 16m long and weighed 11t. Theoretically, it offered room for 75 people. Inside was a watch exhibition for professionals, outside showcases for the public. The vehicle had a radio receiving system, a gramophone and microphone transmission to loudspeakers and an electrical center with its own motor and charging station. The two accumulators had a weight of 500kg.
Reminds me of the '39 GM Futurliner they restored on Bichen' Rides (sp). Good episodes.

Just beautiful stuff.

Bleak, mountainous Attu Island in Alaska had a population of only about 46 people prior to the Japanese invasion. On June 6, 1942, a Japanese force of 1,100 soldiers landed, occupying the island. One resident was killed in the invasion, the remaining 45 were shipped to a Japanese prison camp near Otaru, Hokkaido, where sixteen died while in captivity. This is a picture of Attu village situated on Chichagof Harbor.


In 1962, the destroyer escort HMCS Skeena (DDH 207) accidentally shelled Clallam Bay, Washington, causing minor damage when fragments hit the house of a 70-year-old widow. Two Canadian officers apologized to the woman and promised never to do it again.






The Cozy Dog Drive In on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois. While stationed in Amarillo during World War II, Ed Waldmire Jr. and his friend Don Strand developed a battered and French-fried hot dog on a stick. In 1946, he began selling his “crusty curs” from a small shack on Route 66. Ed’s son Bob was a renowned Route 66 artist and free spirit, who died in 2009. A Walgreen’s now occupies the original Cozy Dog site and the restaurant moved next door." Courtesy of Cozy Dog Drive In and the photo is Joe Sonderman's.

A low-flying Allied plane sends German soldiers running for shelter on a beach in France, before D-Day in 1944. The fliers were taking photos of German coastal barriers in preparation for the upcoming June 6 invasion.




To meet the displacement limits of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 without sacrificing too much armor and firepower, the Royal Navy's Nelson-class battleships were designed with short sterns and a reduced propulsion system. All the main gun turrets were placed forward of the bridge. The ships were nicknamed the "Cherry Tree" class because they had been cut down by Washington.

The neighbor behind me parks a camper next to his garage. Today he had someone come out and cut off part of the eaves to miss the camper.

Locally known as torching. They still use a similar rig, but with a LED lantern, Some guys use the LED headlamps for ease of use and lightness.
