Photo recreation 50+ years apart

[Worden18]

Pic 1: My second birthday; brand new Radio Flyer wagon filled with gifts!  3 of those gifts were a metal toy bus, a plastic fire engine and a plastic Indy style race car.  

 

Pic 2: Me and the same wagon 51 years later.  I painted it orange around 1978.  That's my full sized toy in the background.  '69 Dodge truck.

I gotta laugh about this. I too have a Red Flyer wagon that I got as a young boy(maybe 5 or so?)( I am now 72)  I still use it regularly and found replacement tires and wheels at Farm and Fleet about 30 years ago. The originals literally rotted off the rims. Useful for bring items in to the house from the garage now that my ability to carry heavy stuff is bridled.
