Big two stroke single, anybody know what brand it is/was? Cases look like a Bultaco.

 

Looks like Norm Thatcher

Going off the signs that is Salem IL looking south on 37 at 50. Looked up the towns and found the intersection on yahoo maps.

 

I got a chuckle out of reading it,you must be having a bad day unless they were your relatives.

Lots of pretty faces out there, to this day Grace Kelly is the most attractive woman I have ever seen.

Siata (Ditta Siata) is a historic brand of motorcycles located in Torino.
This Italian company began producing small motorcycles in 1953. These were two strokes and OHV of 98 cc to 198 cc. Around 1958 Siata disappeared from the market.
In 1946, Ducati (at that time producer of electrical appliances) along with Siata produced the 50cc Cucciolo, but within the same year, this little machine was built under the Ducati name

race horses don't drink...

 

what a bunch of 'hamb-ers'

 

What's the story here? Could be something interesting or funny.

 

Re posting the pic to draw your attention to the cars in back round. A little research and I find they are 208S models. My knowlage is limited, but my understanding is that Siata made most of there stuff under license. (Looks like an old Butaco to me to). But it begs the question... are these AC clones? There are some interesting images of the type in a google search.

 

Perfect, you shure have a way with words, you "Silver Tounged Devil"!

Rumor has it… Clara Bow hooked up and had an affair with Bela Lugosi (before Dracula (1931) made him infamous) in the late ’20s. Lugosi displayed a nude portrait of Bow in the bedroom of his Hollywood apartment until his death.
