the Governor of Delaware with his '29 Studebaker President Eight, and license plate #1, on a "Weaver brake tester" that used drive-over plates and liquid gauges to instantly show each wheel's braking power simply by driving the car on at steady speed then jumping on the brake pedal. (thank you CoSC!)

CoSC left me this terrific trivia info in the comment section!
State senators would also get low numbers, the state’s senior U.S. Senator, the junior U.S. Senator, and the Congressman is issued a plate also in the single digits.
anything coveted and derived from official governmental action was leveraged into a reward for political support. So in the early part of the 20th century, that low-number license plates became a way for politicians to say “thank you” by conveying favored status to the holders of such single digit plates Law enforcement was aware a motorist displaying a low-numbered plate was due preferential treatment.
for some reason the Porsche 550 scene in the movie Sin City doesn't show up online
there are a couple scenes where Wendy uses the Porsche to run into Marv, a couple times, then after a different scene, they are driving in the Porsche, and those for some reason, don't show up online.
Anyway, cool movie, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Elijah Wood, and surprisingly, a great cameo by Rutger Hauer. Lots of other stars, Madsen, Del Toro, Rosario Dawson, Jessica Alba, and Michael Clarke Duncan
This served on the Keokuk dam in Keokuk Iowa. It was built in 1917 by American Car Company. The type of railcar is "Transfer Caboose"
I suppose it's very interesting to look at a car, completely disassembled... but, why take a photo of your mechanics at that point?
The first car in Nova Friburgo. It looks like the same guy holding the steering wheel in both photos. The passenger might be the guy holding the tin and paintbrush to the far right.
some one wanted those cars on the 2nd story pretty bad
maybe so they could made a galleria like this one
The invention of refrigeration by Carl von Linde in the 1870s was a direct response to brewers needing cool storage for bottom-fermented lagers, which need cold temps to ferment properly.
The ability to produce and distribute cold beer led to the growth of massive brewing empires
Mechanical refrigeration was actually a response to the needs of brewers, since the process of brewing and fermentation required natural cooling of the fermenting beer. That is often why the best beer came from cold, northern European climates, but even then, it could often not be brewed year round. Milwaukeans had prime access to ice from the lake water, which may have helped the success of brewing in the city.
Cold storage made cold, crisp lagers widely available, leading to their immense popularity and eclipsing traditional, warmer-served ales
I think this is a screen side Dodge.. and what a logging situation, interesting trailer dolly, but I imaging the brakes were barely up to the task of steep hills and the weight of the log
A google search returned this info:

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig dressed in cowboy gear at Dexter Park in Brooklyn. Several players from the Brooklyn Bushwicks semipro team (far left) look on. 1927
The event was part of a publicity stunt to advertise the World's Championship Rodeo.
The tour, organized by their agent Christy Walsh, took place after the New York Yankees swept the 1927 World Series and featured teams called the "Bustin' Babes" and the "Larrupin' Lou's".
first time I've seen a sound train with a neon light advert on top, or advertising insurance
the sound trains I've found in the past, that looked exactly like this, were typically 1928 and 29 Graham Paige
