Wouldn't you think the locals might wonder why the truck was never unloaded,?

Definitely, Prohibition, the nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

The spectator must have been one brave dude...(or just thought he was invincible)...standing that close to an exploding truck. I'd thinking about debris flying around...as in my direction!

"In the 1940's the Death Dodgers were known throughout the United States thanks to their motor shows. But what did they do? Basically to collide with cars at a time when there was not even a seat belt. These pilots risked their lives at every turn.

Putting the car on two wheels, crossing walls of fire or making vertigo jumps became the delights of spectators and the drivers themselves. On one side were the rules of circulation or what we know today as road safety. Jimmie Lynch and her Death Dodgers lived on the edge and were known for it. Madness, emotion, spectacle... call it what you want, but the truth is that these crazy steering wheel, specialists after all, became an icon of the time.
To give you an idea of how far Jimmie Lynch and his people could go, we leave you a photo gallery with some of his performances. But where you'll really find out what his shows consisted of is in this video of the time. The British Path production in 1940 exposes how chilling their performances were and leads us to wonder how they could survive each of these brutal clashes."

Well, I'm sure I'm not the only one here that's old enough to remember the milkman and the glass bottles. Don't remember ever having a milklady though.

Must have been a WWII delivery lady. I too remember milk delivery in bottles along with cottage cheese and if mom ordered it the previous stop, because she knew she would be home for the next delivery, ICE CREAM!!!   :003:

That "T" had chains on front right and left rear......I don't imagine those skinny tires had much of a grip on icy roads.

I noticed that too...and wondered if there was really a tractional advantage there...or did the chains on the left front get ripped off when he was broadsided and shoved up onto the sidewalk? Can't see the right rear...bet there were.
