Off to one side of the Antique Steam and Gas Engine Museum










Wonder what it is?












Antiques on display at the Antique Steam and Gas Engine Museum, Vista California

Above: Mack

Dodge COE... I love it, I want it, I'd make a hauler of it



Above: the plate on the side cowl : Diesel White Power

Mack, and how about this trailer... click on it for the full size of the trailer rims, some are 5 spoke and some are 8 spoke

Above; International that was in the movie Seabiscuit


above: get a close look at the back wheel

Quite a rare pair of McCormick Deering, too bad the setting isn't a clean field, it would have made for a terrific photo


Above: One I've never heard of, Available Truck Co, Chicago


It doesn't get more eye popping than the back wheels... imagine having to cross a road to get to another field. Also, look in the above photo for the steering tiller. Very primative


Huge Cat. Just look at the relative size to the guy passing in front of it

Tucker Snow Cat, the pioneering vehicle of the Trans Antarctic Expedition






Not exactly the same model as the one in the publicity shot below



For a you tube video of some in action in the Antarctic, crossing and getting stuck in the crevass... and how they got out of it, see: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/trans-antarctic-expedition-getting.html
