1924. Joy Ride

[dewey839]

This is one of my all-time favorite photos.  It was sent to another group from a family photo album.  The vehicle is a 1913 International Harvester truck which is not moving and could even be inoperable.  Look at the tires.  But their expressions and their body language give the illusion they are speeding down a patch of country road.

LOL! They are good actors. I would have thought they were moving.

Just an aside... Pnumatic tires were a new thing in the 1920's. What you are seeing here is solid rubber around a wooden wheel. That spare on the side isn't for a flat tire, it's for a broken wheel.
