Yup! Fun in the sun.

You should know.
Didn't you attend the Rough and Tumble event once?
Another of those things I never got to do.
I have seen steam tractors in operation on several
farms in eastern Ohio in the 1940s and at several
county fairs in the 1950s.

Yes, a couple times , having been invited and welcomed by The Dirt and Hev. Totally enjoyable. And plenty of integral noises, too, which added to the whole overall mystique , which was part of seeking new friendships, of course, in a venue completely new to me.

Looking at the Smithfield Hotel and that 2nd floor door over the porch roof. Does not seem to be the safest egress in case of emergency,

Must be Eagle scouts, as they look a bit long in the tooth.

I've recently been running down a few of the Lesney Models of Yesteryear line, and seeing pictures of these old cars gets me to appreciating them all the more.

Scouting then was not what it became decades later and today,

Forest rangers? Some sort of police unit? National or state park personnel? Guys who like to wear strange hats?

Card is purported to be Scouts on tour in the Cadillac. No idea what year that car is, but it would help date this scene.

They sure do look old for scouts, even Eagle Scouts. Wonder what they were scouting for?

Hats are just "ranger" hats, variation on the Stetson, "Campaign Hat". Used by multiple state police and the RCMP's.

It's interesting that the "headlights" are on swivel-mounts, while still having carriage lights as well. Went through a couple of fairly reliable old car sites I occasionally reference, but saw nothing by Cadillac that was similar. It's entirely possible the body was built by a third-party, with just the frame/engine/engine-enclosure supplied by Cadillac.

Those guys should ditch that and get this, a Cadillac armored car, likely of similar vintage:



Uniforms might match to purpose better. Love those disc wheels.
