More cool vehicles from Steampunkvehicles.Tumblr.com

Which got your attention first, the 6 wheels, the carpet roof, or the three bench seats? What a world's fair looking extravagence. Beautiful vehicle. I wish I had a year or maker. Reminds me of the 1905 Bordeux Cali limo https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0aQRmgOJF6oIo2HbovUItz4R3XWDOMXTyjYDPb66SqNCdv__nGR9KxA5P1GLGfFITS8_yqb4qcLl7GvDzEgnO6kfC9HIW7Im5H5qeWZzuF7CToQEDtwZu4pVFtsl2AbZOvL0K_di4Avk/s1600/1905+Bordeaux+Cali+Limousine..jpg
1934 Mercedes DR rail car
1912 Italian 305mm cannon... what in the world pulled, pushed or powered this beast?
Cool looking but simple railway crane
the Pickwick Coach, sleeps 26

Great 1920's or early 1930's 5th wheel tow and trailer
Notice in the above, the front wheel has a direction vane so the driver way at the back of the cab can tell where it will steer

I found another photo to make a matched set for this old street sweeper on Steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com

I found the above on Shorpy I think, but Steampunkvehicles posted the below, and it's impressive that another photo was taken at the same moment.. at least the guy hanging on to the side of the vehicle didn't change position while it was in front of the bandstand... more impressive that in this great big planet the two photos are matched up

Balloon tires so big they look cartoonish, 1915 Harley Davidson Baby Cup race car
