It is hard to believe that that was in Detroit, isn't it?

I was in Bardstown, KY over the weekend and came across this photo on the wall of the Dairy Queen. The only thing the photo said was "1940's".

I couldn't make out what the tank bike was but it looked sweet!

Check out the large trike in front of it. It doesn't have a seat? Maybe it was a large three wheel scooter???????

Really cool to see the old family photos.

My dad, 10 years old, on his Rollfast.

He say he rode the wheels off this bike, then gave it away to a neighboor kid when he outgrew it. Sigh.....
