Another 1950's Taylor Tot baby buggy, cool art deco look with paint & pinstripes added

I came across a couple of these before at Xavier the X-Mans cruise for a cure http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/there-were-2-of-1950-taylor-tot.html

Iian let me know about "Gumdrop" a kids book series about a 1926 Clifton Tourer 12/4

Val Biro an illustrator wrote a series of popular childrens books about the vintage Austin "Gumdrop" he owned.

In the first four books Gumdrop suffers various indignities before being rescued and restored (at least twice),

These books contain a lot of details including cutaway drawings of the car. They are really quite charming and provide an interesting glimpse of the trendy early sixties vintage car scene

Thanks Iian!

What to do with kids or toddlers when going for a drive 100 years ago was simple, put them in a car seat... but where the car seat was located was unreal by todays standards

 on the far back, or the far front, it's like the idea that placing a kid over a bumper never spraked the notion that kids in the proximity of a bumper become a bumper. Our ancestors seem to have lived by sheer accidental good luck sometimes.

in one of these, your kids would be the coolest on wheels at a car show or where ever they can get you to pull them around

This is the second time I've posted these, but it was a couple years ago at the Balboa Cars and Coffee get together.

well equipped and good looking little red wagons

 headlights, pinstriping, streched chassis, slicks and a utility box

 I noticed the oilpan and asked why it was mounted under the wagon

 it's for loading with ice and drink containers, or today like this shows, a cooler in back and snacks in front, topped with Dynamat to cushion and insulate... under a foam cushion

Another reason to buy Mopar Muscle, this story on 17 yr old who got this 383 4 speed numbers matching 55thou, 1970 Lemon Twist original mile 'Cuda!

Jan 2012 issue has the story of Adam Blankenship, and his mopar collecting dad who promised him the car that had been sitting in the collection for 10 years if he got good grades in High School. That is pretty damn cool!
