best caption I've read in a long time, "She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis"
0 comments Posted by st at 8:47 PMAnn Margaret, if you aren't familiar with who she is, once a long time ago, she dated Elvis, had a Vegas act, and more recently, was the love interest in the movie "Grumpy Old Men" with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.. Trivia, she had a billboard top ten song at age 20, it reached #4, she was discovered by George Burns, starred with Elvis at age 23, invented the phrase "Sex Kitten" and was nominated for an Oscar at age 30 after starring opposite Jack Nicholson, Steve McQueen, and got her 2nd Oscar nom after starring with John Wayne and Anthony Hopkins, and was in the Who's rock opera "Tommy" and toured with the USO through Vietnam. Hellava career.

Tura was the daughter of a Japanese dad, and Cheyanne Scot-Irish mom. Had puberty at 8, and was a target of male hormones the rest of her life, silent film star Harold Lloyd didn't know she was only 13 when he was photographing her nude, and told her she was a natural beauty that would make it in Hollywood films.
This image is from the movie "Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill" and she also was in a variety of TV and movies, more famous of them The Man From UNCLE, and Irma LaDuce (Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLaine)

The above was identified as a Red Bug (but looks like a Briggs and Stratton Flyer or Smith Flyer to me) based on the shifter lever and fuel tank, and is realistically the same as several other brand buggys, powered by a Motor Wheel, and look like a lot of fun. The top photo is the same company cart, but earlier and with electric power. The batteries are in the box on the back, and that is why the kids are looking like they can't find where to put the fuel
The fuel company product in the tank is "Whoo Pep"
from David's great vintage car photo blog http://theoldmotor.com/ where you can just look at the photos, or read about the history behind them too
