No fire engine; no house boiler. This is a self propelled vehicle. I am not sure but it might be the oldest of its type, which is still mainly original. There are historic and political links. Here is another crop. With springs like that it did not need a comfort/sport/race switch.

I took the liberty to process Wilsons picture of a steam locomotive (in Maryland?)

Very close but no banana. I was told in the museum that the one you mention, was rebuilt from a total wreck and a lot of it had to be remade in the 1890's, when it was first restored.

John Hancock 'Grasshopper' 0-4-0 c.1836 … first 'cab' steam loco.

Correct. It is also the earliest locomotive built in the USA that is mainly original and as built. The others are "grandfather's axe" locomotives, which have had the handle and head replaced a number of times. I am not sure about those try cocks on the side of the boiler (to determine the water level). They look like a more modern pattern of steam cock to me and I have no idea of the purpose of the very modern looking automobile shock absorber, best seen in my first crop. 

 

Your turn

Here's the next mystery car.  Please name marque, model, year (approx) and country of manufacture.

 

And please no 'is it a …?'  with only the guestimated marque stated :)

Wow! Nobody having any guesses?  1950s, perhaps UK even though it has left hand drive.

 

I had thought of the EIP/EIPV Vauxhall Velox (51-56), where there was a 2 door version called the Tourer, made by Holden in Australia but the heavy chrome on the rear wing is wrong. I think it might be something like a version of a GM car made in South America, Mexico etc.

Incorrect manufacturer and incorrect countries. Year(s) (ish) correct. And 'etc' (ish) correct :)

 

Another clue:

1954 Ford Customline 2 door with Continental kit spare tyre.

Very close Wilson but there's another model logo across the front of the bonnet … and looking for country of manufacture too … which is another clue

1954 Meteor built in Canada. Probably the Niagara, 2 door coupé, which I think I am right, was the last Ford group vehicle to use the famous flat head V8.
