I'd never have guessed that Mr. Spock drove a T.

The house I grew up in had gas lights at one time. The pipes were still in the attic,and the fixtures were stored in an outbuilding. (Wellsbach Reflex)
We had two large outdoor gas lights of the type once used in railway stations. I still have them. They had provision for 5 mantles, and my dad kept them going with just 2 mantles each. They still gave a lot of light.

Friends, buy a Ford and maintain it properly and use it sensibly, and you will have no grief from it.

Sixth picture down is in front of the Laclede Gas Co building in St Louis. Recently renovated and leased for office space. I bet it's got hot water. :)

According to Google's AI, the one with the big rock is on Oahu.

I had to edit out the car, or it just told me it was a Model T!

Be interesting to find out if those stolen cars are still owned by someone today!

I remember a clipping from "Old Cars Weekly" from 60 years ago, that one of the people was mentioning the old car he owned and had put on display in some Antique Car Museum, had simply disappeared when the museum closed and the cars were dispersed, even though he had never donated the car or sold it to anyone. I still have the clipping somewhere, and meant to look it up in a club register sometime, and see where it is now if it is still in existence, but I have never gotten to it. I believe it was either a Brush or a Metz, both of which are rare enough for it to be easily found today.

Might be a little harder with the 2 stolen Model T's however, as nearly everyone who has a T, actually has 3-4 more of them stored as accumulated parts, and it would be necessary to check all the spare engine blocks people have gathered over the years, if the numbers don't show up in a currently active car. But they might turn up eventually. (I would add the news release from the police to the display of MY car, if it was a match with those announcements. It's an interesting piece of history!)

Also, were those Marines with fixed bayonets keeping the riff-raff away from the Congressmen, or were they keeping the Congressmen from sneaking out of Naval Hearings, and scampering off down the road?

If the Model T in the first picture drove by, I think we would be obliged to salute, wouldn't we?

Interesting photo of the WW1 ambulance, it seems to be built along the pattern of the Ambulance bodies that were built by Kelner in Paris for the American Field Service, but built Stateside around late 1916, early 1917 as it has a steel radiator surround.
It probably is a prototype that precedes the later standardised Model 1917 US Army Ambulance.
I have not seen this picture before, the M1917 was constructed with some kind of Masonite boards instead of planks like this one.
Kelner built the complete bodies from Mahogany planking, unthinkable today and costly too, but in those days Kelner was a top of the bill coachbuilder, and used its large stocks of lumber for the Ambulances as private customer work came to a standstill because of the war.
When in trouble, do not fear, blame the second engineer ! 8-)
