One of the driving wheels and valve gear components of the Atlantic Coast Line No. 1504, located in Jacksonville, Florida.
Had a chat with the owner of this fine yellow 36 Plymouth street rod, spotted out and about in the pouring rain. I thought it looked so cool on this dismal day. It is the only car that he and his wife own, and they drive it every day. The way it should be.

The driver of this JS 2-8-2 sits at his controls awaiting coal and water to be loaded at Nanzhan yards.
His face seems to me to tell the story of living and working in communist China as did his clothing.
Such a nice guy quiet and guarded, curious but disciplined.

Photo taken by Bunny Dever, Hot Springs, Arkansas, in 1967
Two emergency ambulance attendants from the Gross Mortuary, 1017 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, Arkansas, hurry a critically injured man into an awaiting 1966 white Pontiac Consort ambulance in Hot Springs in 1967.
In the days before paramedics, backboards, and splinting, the goal of good ambulance service back then was hurry to the scene and quickly "load and go."
Even at that, Gross Mortuary operated an excellent 24 / 7 ambulance service, giving prompt, careful care to thousands of Hot Springs residents from 1909 to July 31, 1974 when it ended its ambulance service.
This accident occurred on East Grand Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The injured man's young son later died in nearby Quachita Hospital (now closed). This compelling action (copyrighted) picture was taken by Bill (Bunny) Dever of Hot Springs, a skilled commercial police photographer and a good friend of mine for many years. His great pictures give a glympse of funeral home-operated ambulance services in the 1960s - 1970s.
The ambulance pictured above was a Pontiac Consort ambulance made by Superior. A Consort ambulance had no dividing wall between and driver and the rear patient area. The ambulance was actually designed to hold three patients on stretchers! Two stretchers (one a wheeled stretcher and the other a folding cot) could fit easily side by side on the ambulance floor, and a third folding stretcher could be suspended from the ceiling.
It had a (very loud) Federal Q2 siren, four alternating red bullet lights on the four roof corners, and a giant red beaconray in the center of the roof.
This ambulance, known as "Gross 6," served Hot Springs faithfully from 1966 to 1970 when it was replaced by a bright yellow Superior Van ambulance. Gross Mortuary ended ambulance service July 31, 1974.
Note that the two attendants are lifting the stretcher into the ambulance -- now days, paramedics use so-called one-man stretchers which fold up into the ambulance without having to be lifted, sissies.

Blackpool's new driver trainer, Trident 974 (ex 304), in a Mercedes Citaro 'Palladium' styled grey and yellow colour scheme.
When we were kids, traveling across the plains of Kansas in the days before the Interstate was finished, we passed through many a small town where Dad pointed out an interesting fact. The town Undertaker always had the biggest house in town because, eventually, he got everyone’s business.
Now imagine you are the Undertaker running Forrest Lawn Cemetery in the LA area.
Doctor Hubert Eaton, the guy who ran the place in 1938 had some spare change lying around when he ordered a custom, streamlined REO tractor to pull a Curtiss Aerocar trailer. For the first quarter of a million miles, it was powered by a White Flat-12 bus engine. In 1953 it got a Cummins diesel. The trailer had a small four cylinder to power a generator for electrical needs. There was space to sleep 6 people, a kitchen, bath and communication with the driver. His quarters and that of a butler/cook were in the cab of the REO.
The Aerocar was a product of aviation pioneer, Glenn Curtiss. You know, that other bicycle guy who, like the Wright Brothers started tinkering with airplanes. Curtiss and the Wrights would start as rivals but join forces to become Curtiss-Wright later on.
He started building luxury travel trailers in 1929 and continued until 1942. The camper is currently on display at The Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard, California. It is on loan from LA’s Petersen Museum.
This is a forced perspective photograph of 1/43 scale die-cast models in front of a real background.
