BobT-47P15 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 They used to have some vehicles similar to that around our area back in the 1930s or 1940s.........a car pullling a trailer resembling that one. They were the successor to street cars which ran to area towns. I have looked on line but can not find a picture of the local ones---and there do not seem to be any that survived.

BobT-47P15 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I found these pictures of motive units pulling what are probably Curtiss Aerocar trailers. They were first built in around 1932 by two companies, one owned by Glenn Curtiss. I think the picture I saw of something used around our area showed a coupe of some brand pulling the trailer. A couple other models........... Lilnk to a story about Curtiss and his vehicles..........fairly long but interesting..........http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/c/curtiss/curtiss.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
