from the movie Almost Famous. It's a really good movie, and gives a good look at was like for a rock band on the road in the early 70's. Watch Rock of Ages after that, and see another good rock and roll story

the only motorized vehicles in the 1933-34 Chicago "Century of Progress" exhibition were Greyhound tour busses

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

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
