old and unusual vehicles that are getting emailed around this week

 I believe the above is a bread delivery truck... must be successful to afford the coachwork!
 very elegant tour coach tram... this would not be good in any area with weather, but terrific for Southern California... all we get is sun from March to December.. yes, I am bragging. It's expensive too.
 the above... is EARLY! 1890's? I think! Victorian to Edwardian for sure

 one tiny tracked tourer
 Movie studio lot transport? Tourist carrier?
 She must be in incredible muscular shape to push pull that cycle
 No notes with this email of photos to indicate why two images of this cycle car are here, it's the same motorcycle rear, and I guess the front is the same, but at a later time, when he added headlights and the trunk on the roof

 An orient buckboard above
Thanks to commentor Boonie, the above people carrier is identified as a Lister Auto Truck, and a website link I am grateful for was offered that displays a great number of images that demonstrate a variety of these small industrial motorized service craft used in the 1920's and 1930's  http://www.autotruck.org/apps/photos/album.jsp?albumID=3840394  and below is a better look at one


Another reminder that there is always more wheeled machines that I've never seen or heard of to discover! 
 I've posted about this motorwheel http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=dynasphere it's the Dynasphere of Dr Purve
it was too big to be able to turn when needed...

Cool things found in the blog "Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long"

 Beer run! Filling up belly tanks with beer for the guys that just stormed the beach at Normandy
 probably looks like any old tank at first, but then, did you see that there are 4 tracks? Not the usual two

 Peter Sellers

 yup, it's a real Bugatti, factory racer
 amphib plane, stored in a hanger because getting it flying would take 2 fortunes and a winning mega millions lotto ticket
the 1936 Henderson before the restoration http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/1936-henderson-at-rhinebeck-grand.html
 a new image of the Count de Sakhnoffsky designed been truck, and this is a info card that was handed out at the trucks display... front above, and the reverse side below . For the gallery: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html

 terrific album cover art



 the cat tracks added onto the tractor give it so much more traction
a wheel pattern only used on Canadian trains, it looked familiar to me, and I remembered the train at the Nethercutt museum http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/private-pullman-palace-railcar-century.html

For the write ups of these photos, and so much more, including tools, munitions factories, Canadian museums, great things that were made in US and Canada, and extremely researched written descriptions of inventors and inventions: http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/
