She's recently found a photo confirming the fact there was a bridge that was over the railroad in town that ran between Atlanta and Birmingham. Surprisingly so, it seems no one even remembers it, much less when it was taken down.
She posted this photo confirming the bridge's existence, and I immediately noticed what looks to be a Jeep. But, it looks larger than the original Jeeps of the early 40's.
Any idea what kind of vehicle it might be?
Thanks . . .
Looks more like a modern jeep than an old one, Jeepsters were more streamlined on the roof line and this one also appears to have bullet headlights.
Interesting, wonder what it is....
Anyway, it seems some of the guys think it's a late 20's Ford.
Thanks
Looks like an old car, it has fenders, the wheels are too close to the ends of the body, it has head light pods and it has a chrome/nickel radiator shroud.

Think you are right on the old car.
Yeah. I think the 1st one was built in 41 for the military. This appears to be a double photo posting, and the other thread didn't load the photo ?

I would agree with those "guys." Probably a Ford Model T (or A?). The pic is grainy...I can see why someone would think it's a Jeep by the body lines (from that distance), but the wheelbase looks too long and it looks like the tires stick out from the rear of the body (no wheel well in the rear, just a fender).
:-k
Something about, Herbalife- Aks me how...
Wow
Anyway, thanks for the tips on the car. I'll pass them along . . .
pre- Nagasaki/ Hiroshima
There is a church past the bridge there. I bet some history on that church would turn up some history on that bridge.
Edit: at least it looks like a church with a steeple in the front over the door. That might be an optical illusion and just a chimney.
The photo was taken on Broad Street. And from all things considered, the Court House was to the right of the photographer.
Looks like it was taken on a snowy day in Douglasville. But as far as I know, no Church's were ever on Broad. They were all one block back on ... Church Street.
Thanks again fellas . . .
