While going through an old family album I came across these three photo's.
First photo shows the poor guy trying to fix a badly damaged rear wheel as his wife & kids look on.
In the second photo, he seems to have given up & is hoping the wine will fix things.
The man is not in the last photo, maybe he went for help or the women & kids made better subjects to photograph.

That bloody thing has broken spokes! Ah, a little wire & a bandaid.
Love the photos !!! I imagine the wife had packed their lunch, and spread out a quilt or blanket to eat on. They could not call for help back then.
You're right debbie, I don't see a cell! Hope it's not a long walk back. They will remember to take their cell next time I bet! Hope it was a strong wine.
Manitoba roads will do that to a car today with metal rims, no wonder the spokes broke!
Maybe he just climbed that telephone pole in the background pulled some wires off & waited for the repair crew to show up.
Thanks for the love on these pics Mani, Phil, official & tony.
That made me laugh!..:-)))) ..great photos!..:-)
I think in that first photo she is saying to herself... he hasn't got a hope in hell! and the second photo confirms it ...lol!...:-)
Thanks for the love & your comment Inky, I almost spit my coffee all over my keyboard when I read your second comment!!
lmao :-)
Thanks for the love on this one kerry.
Thank you to B'buss, Bellin & debbiepike, for your comments.
Just love these.
great picks .. altho the front tire looks ok ...dont know why he just dont switchem ....after his call's on his cell...smiling Im not blond
Thanks Amber for stopping by & giving this a double love.
Thanks for the love & the comment Roy.
If he had switched the front wheel to the back he then could have fastened a fence post to the front wheel & skied home!
Thanks for stopping by & showing this post some love beachbomb.
David, I really appreciate you posting the before and after photo's, now I know what to pack along on a road trip, skip the tools and load up the vino
Found a third photo.
Love it too,
Thanks kerry, I have found more images of this car plus an identical one with it.
Will be watching for them, love those old rides, something stirs inside when I see them ;-)
Kerry do you know what make the car is, I thought chevy, but not sure now?
The hood and radiator cover look like a Chevy or possibly one of the Durant line, if I could make out the center of the wheel, it would tell the story. The double ridge fenders makes me lean towards Chevy
google 1917 chevy and look at images, I believe it to be one of those.
Eye4, sounds like the "Man" needs to take a few days off for starters, then maybe some positive attitude classes. As far as old cars goes, I've always been a Big fan of vintage autos and such, just don't ask me to fiqure out a new one, couldn't tell you the difference between a Toyota or a Dodge ;-0
I wouldn't let the hissy-fit worry you, enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope Monday has a better outcome for you and your co-workers.
Kerry I believe it's a 1924 Willys Overland.
Thanks for the love & the comment Roy.
If he had switched the front wheel to the back he then could have fastened a fence post to the front wheel & skied home!
or just break the other 3 and drive it home on the spokes ...lol...still great pics
very possible, wouldn't argue that at all
Thanks for you input Kerry, I appreciate it.

Wooden wheels and tires that never wore out or went flat. It's a shame tire companies don't make tires that last anymore.
Thanks for the love on these pics Trey. Wood - rubber, it's a trade off so we can go fast :-)
Thanks for giving this some love KolyaSemenov, Sean, Nicole, gluepot & MattyG.
Thanks for loving these old pictures Lee, Sarah, agh & Radegunder
I always enjoy looking at old pictures trying to imagine what the story is behind the pic. We'll never know for sure, and that's what makes it so much fun.
That's what I love about them as well thatsoretro23.
