Steam locomotives are another strong interest to me. The bigger they were,the better. Three all time favorites were the C&O's H8's,a 2+6+6+6 monsters we saw nearly every day here in Huntington. The second was the N&W's Y6's.a 2+8+8+4 they built in their own shops at Roanoke,Va. The third was never seen here and they were the Union Pacific's "Big Boy's".a 4+8+8+4 brute oriinally built as helpers for lesser engines with too heavy loads.
These to me represent an America that was an industrial monster and occured way before the advent of wall to wall fast food places and a generation of young people
with their noses stuck in a screen of some kind.

Still working on pinning an ID to the car. I had guessed that it would be Murphy Convertible Coupe J-500 / 2517 but I was wrong - wrong interior and hood. Anyone else who feels like venturing a guess, educated or otherwise , have at it.
I swear I've seen this car with the upside-down bumper before but can't place it.

* Chris, you can see that the interior is rather a dark shade.
Mike. Your post got me thinking... I suppose there IS a possibility they mounted it that way on purpose, for a bit of difference? Everything esle looks very carefully done. In the very high res scans, you can see from the reflections of light, all along the body and hood etc, that all the body panels are perfectly straight, and smooth mirror-finish paint. etc.

Only took you six minutes to post that from a small photo. You saw it immediately. Gotta admit I did not notice it until about the fourth time I looked at it.
How could they have NOT seen that when putting it on the full-size car and driving around in it, and taking photos :rolleyes: You should see what it looks like in the head-on, front shot.
