A bit of serendipity! I copied Nethryk's Lightning McQueen image to send to my grandson and when I opened my email account to do it there was this image from one of my coffee buddies. Overcome by the coincidence I just had to post it here. It is a 1928 Car Repair Mailer (penny postcard) for Model T Ford repairs postmarked Bottineau, North Dakota.  |

Terrific parade of autos! Great to revisit these threads. Here's a cinderella I've shown before. 'Looking South on Scarth St. Regina Saskatchewan' From the 1920s I believe.  Note the line of cars down the right side of the street.  |

The lead car is interesting... what appears to be relatively normal front fenders, but with "cycle" fenders at rear. |
