stagecoach and a DC 3, this strange photo has been revealed by Steve to be part of a 1949 advertisement

Top photo found on http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/

Steve found that this is from an advertisement that American Airlines ran in various magazines in 1949. This one is from the April 4, 1949 issue of Time.

The title reads "This month a grand old plane makes its last flight." The copy states that the DC-3 (21 passengers at 200 mph) was being replaced by the DC-6 (52 passengers at 300 mph) and the Convair CV-240 (40 passengers at 300 mph). The DC-4 (44 passengers at 227 mph) had been retired by the airline the year before.

The biggest wagon I've ever seen! Might only have been a movie prop, because they blew it to smithereens

Three axles... I've never seen one with 3 axles. This was in the movie "Duck You Sucker" with James Coburn

A stagecoach, a wagon, some farm machinery, and a double A work truck. Not on a farm or museum but in Pacific Beach !

the 5th Avenue Stage in 1900, just a year or two before the horses became obsolete

You wouldn't see these magnificent (if dangerous) horse carriages galloping up and down Fifth Avenue much longer at the time this photo was taken. 1900 was the year that the NY State Senate approved a bill allowing the Fifth Avenue Stage to run automobiles along the length of its newly-extended route.

By 1903, the horse carriages had been retired for "motor buses."

This was a relief to the residents of the apartment blocks near the "big stable" of the Fifth Avenue Stage located uptown. The stables took up the whole block between 88th and 89th Streets, were four stories tall, and housed over 250 horses. Its neighbors were continually filing complaints with the city because of the "noxious odors", as well as perpetual stamping and neighing of horses in their stalls, which made sleep impossible.
