Replica of an iconic Japanese landmark. The calligraphy on the plaque was done by my friend, Miwako Kobayashi.
I photographed this car just after it had left the start line on the Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1983. It's a 1904 Cadillac Model A, and the programme of the event had this note about the car:
6 1904 Cadillac Model A
Reg: BJ 208 1-Cylinder 6.5 hp
(Mr. A.W. Hutt, Lytham St. Annes)
One of only three Model A Cadillacs in the UK, this car was first owned by Mr Pratt of Pratt's Petroleum, and then by Esso, being used a great deal in the 1930s for promoting Esso products. It has been in the Veteran Car Club since 1955, and completed several London to Brighton and Manchester to Blackpool runs since coming into Mr Hutt’s possession in 1976. Last year’s best effort was the VCC’s North West main event from Altrincham to Llandudno, a trip which was completed in one day via Denbigh and Betws-y-Coed, necessitating 1½ hours continuously in bottom gear.

These photos were taken at a photography workshop I went to for Lighting & Posing. After some great instruction, we each had 5 minutes with the model, and were told to take full control in posing her. This is the result of what she went through.

"Pioneer Pullman of the Air"
Until the mid-1920s, American commercial airplanes were built for mail, not people.
Boeing's Model 80, along with the Ford and Fokker tri-Motors, were a new breed of passenger aircraft.
The 80 first flew in August 1928 and was working along Boeing Air Transport's route two weeks later.
The 12-passenger Model 80 and the more-powerful 18-passenger 80A (re-designated 80A-1s when the tail surfaces were modified in 1930) stayed in service until 1933, when replaced by the all-metal Boeing Model 247.
The Museum's Model 80A-1, equipped with three Pratt & Whitney 525-horsepower "Hornet" engines, was retired from service with United in 1934.
In 1941, it became a cargo aircraft with a construction firm in Alaska. To carry large equipment, including a massive 11,000-pound (4,950 kg) boiler, a cargo door was cut into the plane's side. After the war, the 80 was stored and then discarded.
It was recovered from a dump in 1960 and eventually brought to Seattle for restoration. It is the only surviving example of the Boeing Model 80 series.
Stewardesses
In 1930, Miss Ellen Church, a student pilot and registered nurse, convinced Boeing management to hire female cabin attendants for their Model 80 flights.
Until then, it had been the co-pilot's duty to pass out box lunches, serve coffee, and tend to the passenger's needs.
Church reasoned that the sight of women working aboard the Boeing 80s would alleviate the passenger's fear of air travel. She and seven others, all nurses, became America's first stewardesses. Serving on a trial basis, they were very popular and became a permanent part of American commercial aviation.
The Luxury
A passenger flying in Boeing's earlier Model 40 was in for an uncomfortable trip. The 40 was designed for mail -- people were secondary, packed like sardines into the cold and noisy fuselage.
The advent of the Model 80 brought some comfort to travel.
The 80A had room for 18, a heated cabin, and leather seats. There was individual reading lights and the lavatory featured hot and cold running water.
Although the 80 had a luxurious interior, flying was tough by today's standards: the cabin wasn't pressurized, engine noise made conversation difficult, and despite heaters, the cabin was sometimes very cold.
