Rug Buggy: 1906
What we have here is a section of an 8x10 glass negative captioned "1906 -- Harper Hospital, Detroit." Which we've cropped to zoom in on this delivery van crew, who after 119 years are finally ready for their close-up. Better get going before that ice melts! View full size.

1905 or 1906 Oldsmobile 1-ton delivery truck
Why, I never seen a sketchier bunch a punks!
Couple a gunsels upfront in the getaway car, gang boss makin' sure they gets th' bank address right this time.
And it's only Spring
If they need that ice while the trees are leafing out, it's going to be a bugger this Summer.
Planning some ultra-violence?
The standing fellow bears a striking resemblance to Clockwork Orange-era Malcolm McDowell, and I suppose that those are a couple of his Droogs in the truck. I hope they stayed out of trouble.
A couple of wild and crazy guys there
Way ahead of Martin and Aykroyd.
So chill
Equipped with redundant air conditioning systems. Way ahead of its time!
Keeping things cool?
Is that a chunk of ice being held against the radiator? I could have used that trick with my old Ambassador.
