kbeach Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Getting that "RV" moving with a Model T must have been fun, stopping it even more exciting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Notice that the RV seems to have/be fitted with solid tires? 1920s version of a Conestoga wagon? I can't comprehend that traveling at any speed over 20 mph if that. Going down or up grades must have been and interesting experience. As many may know by now my prime interest is in custom coachwork - on any vehicle of any kind. This is an extreme. We have all heard the term "airflow" styling , this is a case of "no flow" styling.

At least that's what I've always seen them called on this side of the pond. They are not steel disc wheels they are simply decorative discs that cover the wire wheels. Our 1926 Pontiac has steel disc wheels, in this case made by the Motor Wheel company. Photo from last year at our annual off-road trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Ash Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) 5 hours ago, twin6 said: Pete Seeger! Yes, it does appear to be Pete Seeger at 18 months of age holding his mothers hand. They were in Washington, DC in 1921 preparing to go on tour. Pete Seeger was part of an important musical family, the son of ethnomusicologist Charles Seeger and concert violinist Constance de Clyver Edson Seeger. He was exposed to folk music as a young child, when his parents took him on a musical expedition in a homemade trailer, designed to bring classical music to rural areas. John Seeger, Pete’s older brother, remembered the family’s experience at AFC’s 2007 symposium: [Charles] said, ‘I’m going to take good music to the countryside, because they cannot afford orchestras, they cannot afford quartets…. So he spent a year and a half building that damn trailer! What happened was, in western North Carolina, spending a winter there…at every farm he would say, ‘can my wife and I play you some music on Saturday?’ And after their music was over, the local farmers would say, ‘now, would you listen to our music?’ Every farm we went to, everyone could either play an instrument, or could sing, or could harmonize…and they all knew the songs! What was he bringing music to the countryside for? In March, as soon as the snow was gone, we all piled in the trailer, and we tore home, and he went to New York to teach!

1937hd45 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Funny how posting a photo can unearth a story, thank you Gary. I guess the Seegers had some money, I read that Pete went to a privet school here in Ridgefield when he was very young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
