That's not a ford emblem on the radiator shell but it is a Model A (only half a horn). Any clues?

The question is, are they camping or is that were they live?

maybe 'vintage Glamping!' looks quite comfy to me!
wonder if man is pondering a question...??
"will anybody be interested in these old cars once they wear out, and will there be any way to discuss them conveniently?"
well, so it seem to me...

I plan on building an AutoKamp trailer. I happened upon this 1926 brochure of one setup on the shore in Midland MI. My ancestors owned 300+ acres with this river flowing through it. They arrived in 1835. The second pic is my dad in the wheelbarrow. His cousin is pushing it toward his aunt. Looks like a picnic day with the hammock set up in the trees. I'm thinking this was taken during the Spanish Flu pandemic. My grandparents were living in town had sent him to live on the farm to reduce the risk.

I want to now where/how they stored the tent and all in that 2 door roadster. Must have been quite the feat.

Pile it high and wide - no concerns about scratching the paint.
My wife and mom went to a needlework show in Vegas. It was a week long buying spree when the bellhop was hauling the stuff to the car he had his doubts. My wife filled every little nook and cranny of her little 2004 Tbird. A car whose storage criteria was only that it hold 2 sets of golf clubs.
