I think it is a Vespa 400 or 500 they only made them for about 2 or 3 years, I worked on 1 in the late 70's when I was the shop flunky at the local Fiat Dealership. Very odd seldom seen 2 seater. The only things I remember is it had Suicide doors, and the battery pulled out of a Panel between the headlights. I think it made all of about 25HP. I know the shops Fiat 500 (the original version) was HUGE compared to it!!!!!

========================
There was one of those for sale on Knoxville, TN CL not that long ago..........light blue if I remember correctly. Nice lookin lil' car too.

 

This is from the "Back in the Day Muscle Car Photos" Facebook page. Its just labeled "1963 Impala being pulled out of the sand July '64"

 

Sure thought it looked like snow. But then I wondered why there would be a ladder against the side of a house in the snow and people dressed like it's July.
Seems odd the angle they are pulling. Old photos can be interesting.

 

Looks like that '63 Chevy made it quite a ways through the sand before physics too over..... Gotta give the driver credit for trying. You need hard sand to drive on the beach...... Personally, I wouldn't attempt it in a normal vehicle.

 

Somewhere (?) - 1960's...


Somewhere else, 1960's


Downtown San Bernardino, CA., 1950's


Somewhere in Washington state, 1960's


LAX, maybe 1967....


Niagra Falls, 1962?


Some weird parade somewhere, early 1960's

 

I've driven on many beaches and got stuck many times. I even nearly got stuck with my Chevy van on Daytona Beach when it was legal farther south. I was distracted and drove beyond the sign and legal driving beach on the softer sand.
The above photo sure looks a lot like the Panhandle area along the Gulf of Mexico.
The beach below with the wagon is hard packed. It was part of the old race course.

 

This is a Shriners Parade. They raise money to treat children. Shriners Hospitals for Children provides specialized care to children with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, regardless ...

Dollie's younger sister was caught in a corn field fire when young. She spent years at the Shriners Hospital in Chicago.
Her older sister had a baby with a cleft lip and was also a Shriner's patient.

 

I think this photo is one of the first ones on this thread.



God Bless the Shriners for all the good they do.
