    Shot this pic several years ago while traveling through eastern Colorado. Lots of imagination here for making do with whats available. Note the horse even has its own vent window [​IMG]

    Wild idea, but do you think they put horses back there? Proof that they had Jim Beam back then!

    Unless there's 2 of these I saw this one sitting in an old car wash in central Kansas in the mid 90's sometime. Yes, I'd say it really hauled a horse!

    Yep, I heard that this might be sitting at LaCross Ks now. I took the pic at Wray CO, probably in the mid 90's. Anyway, its kinda cool.

    You'd think that Hoppy would have started with a Buick or a Cadillac. Hoppy's white horse Topper deserved better.:D

    I know of a restored 41 Packard woody wagon that a then famous opera singer had custom built to haul around her show dogs.
