Great pics. It's funny how they looked like 85 year old cars 80 years ago. I'm surprised how many have survived given those living and driving conditions.

If this is the pic you mention, I recall the caption was about early drive-in theaters. I suspect those are speakers lined up in front, not individual window-mounts like we had later....

Look at the first Model A Coupe. It has a person with two heads.

Not to make light of this, but that actually happened to a friend of mine while eating at a restaurant in MN. In the booth next to his is a woman with two heads, who is living in MN. I'd never heard of these women with one body until my friend told me about it last year, and the two women with one body seem to do well, even though each head controls that side of the body.

I'd never seen nor heard of drive-in speaker like this before.

It's a drive-in movie....cars are park on a slant upwards and other than the camera flash, it's dark.
