Studes in Roadside Americana photos

He dug a hole in the ice to the water. Then dug a hole next to it less than half as deep. Then he put a pea between the 2 holes. When the fish came up to take a pea, he would kick it in the ice hole.

Oh dear. That's just too funny. I'm nearly 65 years old and never heard that one before. I'll remember it.

Post 3001 above. That is classic. It appears to be about 1909 based on the license plate, but not sure of the year of the car. Any of you experts know what year it might be? It is right hand drive and seems to be pretty well decked out for lights, etc.

Wasn't 1913 the first year for Studebaker to appear in the radiator?

To make that truck sit down that low - those two lathes weigh 3000 lbs?

I think this last one may be a two-fer!
...and I'd love to know "the rest of the story."


Is it "Women United Against Accordian Music."? Speak up now or we're gonna play this thing forever.

My guess would be at least that. I hope that truck was not powered by the Champion engine.

Wow!....If that gal is just learning how to drive a car, should those folks really be standing between the front of that Stude and the curb?!!!!!

Maybe they are there to make sure she doesn't pull up too far and dent the sheet metal below the front bumper...

Re: Photo # 3006 - it appears to me something is going on with the driver's seat. It looks like it is tilted (adjusted) at an angle. Just an observation....

Mr. Bill

The seat is pulled forward. Maybe that makes it look tilted or maybe something in the back is against the seat.
I just realized today that the car was a Conestoga wagon and not a sedan.

Yeah, there COULD be some little kid lying down in the rear, kicking the seatback while mommy tries to drive the thing!
