Streetcars in Buffalo

Mass Transportation Magazine, January 1954

"Skidoo Streetcars, Welcome buses!" 
Its the summer of 1950 and crowds assemble for the final runs of the streetcar service in Buffalo and possibly to celebrate their replacement by buses. Streetcar service, which had been part of the city's public transit since the 1860s was replaced by buses in a series of steps from 1941 till 1950. 
30 years later the LRT was reintroduced to Buffalo with the opening of the new 6 mile metro rail line along Main Street.

20 miles per gallon in 1913

Mileage like that wasn't much improved upon for years. The last carbureted Chevrolet inline six I owned never got better than about 22 miles per gallon. 

Sidecar Sunday

Now that would be the way to tour Paris!

Yacht Vingt et Une, 1903

D.W. Fostle, Speedboat, Mystic Seaport Museum 1988

To the powerboat industry used to steam, naptha, and primitive marine gasoline engines, the development of the gasoline auto engine in the late 1890s offered great new possibilities. 
 The Vingt et Une, powered by a 21 hp four cylinder Simplex automobile engine, claimed the unheard-of speed of 26 miles per hour for a nautical mile at the Palisades Boat Club in NY on November 5 1903. Its 30 foot hull, with a beam of 3' 10", and constructed of 5/16" mahogany over 1/2" oak ribs, weighed only 390 lbs. The total dry weight was recorded as 810 lbs.
 Though already known in France, this was one of the first recorded uses in the USA of the nautical use of a car engine and it started a whole new class of small easily-operated powerboats.

SS Jaguar 100

Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, Jaguar, Jaguar Cars, 1990

SS cars made 314 of these beautiful two seater sports cars between 1936 and 1940, the 100 name reflecting the expected top speed in miles per hour. The Jaguar name was a nod to the fashion of the time for animal names for vehicles. A larger 3.5 litre engine was introduced in 1938, thus increasing the top speed to an actual 100 mph.

Nice looking bike but who picked the seat colour? 

De Havilland Buffalo

This is a 1969 hardsell ad directed at the US armed forces for the Canadian de Havilland Buffalo, a STOL aircaft that was built to a 1962 US army request for a short take and landing fixed wing aircraft that matched the the carrying capacity of a Chnook helicopter. Although the aircraft worked well, inter-service politics prevented the sale of any airplanes to the US armed forces. There were sales to other countries, however and 122 were built before production was halted in 1986.

Porsche 356?

I assume this is a replica, but I'm no expert on the vehicle. It sure looks fun!
