I love cool old photos like this, with unusual vehicles (street sweeper) next to a cool airplane, with a delivery van in back, and then something interesting and with wheels, like the apu near the front tire
Great shot worthy of colourization.Perhaps(red?)Austin-Western Model 40 Motor Sweeper doing Foreign Object Damage prevention.Lots of red,white and blue,except for the two-tone ('48-Plymouth?)lower left.Funny where these lead to.Thanks again. https://www.cjonline.com/news/20190511/topeka-foundry-employee-celebrates-40-years-with-company

Back in the '80s someone I knew bought a retired runway sweeper for its Chrysler V8 engine. I guess he probably scrapped the rest of it.

ReplyDeleteYes! Good catch!
