Incredible Vintage Vehicles!

When some of the ideas for our first vehicles are incredible!

Enjoy what people drove before we got our computerized automatic self parking mechanical wonder

machines, that do, incidentally still have accidents. I think it is the nut behind the steering wheel!!

I think my favorite is the "anti-gas ambulance" from WWI ("The war to end all wars!)

These Vintage photo's are worth looking at!
