I finally learned of a model T museum that has been photographed many times but not identified in emails, Near Yuma Arizona is an old gas station / private collection/museum

Steve told me that this was originally a gas station in Holtville Ca, but was bought and moved here

it is North of Yuma, in a small town named Bard. The collection is open for visitors in the cool winter months http://www.dynamitedave.com/places_cloud_museum.html

far from the utilitarian work tractor, this 1948 orchard model from IH McCormick Deering is very streamlined!

IH commissioned an industrial designer, Raymond Loewy, to give the new Farmall general-purpose tractors a sleek new streamlined look. Designed for small-to-medium size American farms, IH's new machines offered a wider variety of capabilities, engines, and equipment options.

IH took care to produce a model for almost every farm and every need. Sales took off, and letter-series production did not end until 1954. Overall, the Farmall 'letter' series, well built and affordable, became not only a defining product line in IH history, but an iconic symbol of the prototypical American small-farm tractor. Many machines (especially the two largest models, the H and M) are still in operation on farms today.

how cool is this old wrecker, they weren't called tow trucks when and where I grew up, they were known as wreckers. One thing I like about this one, the tire covered front bumper was often used to push a vehicle that couldn't move under it's own power, because a lot of cars then were stick shifts, and if the starter or battery wouldn't work, all you needed was a push start.

above, a Wallis tractor

Above, a Wilkinson motorbike, and the seat! That looks comfortable!

Hard to make out, but the Moroso gold valve covers, and the wheelie bars? I think this was for drag racing

Above, a part of a Norman Rockwell. The best part.

I don't think I've ever seen a woody bus before, but it looks good!

that is the biggest fire gong, or a big train flywheel

the racket 4 motors must have made!

incredible kid sized trailer! Too cool!

damn cool garage shelving idea!

Yup, the dog lovers would likely be outraged at the dogs stuck in the trunk, but it's a neat photo anyway
