the above are from http://theoldmotor.com/
reminds me of one terrific photo that I've yet to hear more info about, such as where the little shop of pedal cars is, if it's a real shop, a private collection, or just a photo shoot
If anyone knows where this photo was taken, who the guy in the photo is, or what shop, please email me at jbohjkl@yahoo.com
I’d love to see if there are more images of this place on the internet

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

it's a two door... not very commonly seen, and looks small
This horse and buggy were abandoned when the horse died. No one ever came back for the buggy, or to dispose of the horse carcass.... that is mighty strange

the 1920s photos from fuckyeah1920s.tumblr have such a wide variety, from celebrities as Laurel and Hardy, Harold Llyod, Buster Keaton, and Babe Ruth, to kids with pedal cars (it's like Shorpy!)
