It's a '35 Ford Standard Fordor. Not model A but early Ford and a neat picture. I thinks it's okay.

Tough to see a vintage motorcycle destroyed for the sake of a staged photo opp.

The banner on the car windshield appears to say Texas Highway Patrol. Not sure what this photo is meant to portray. Maybe that they practice this tactic in their training course?
If I could only go back in time, I’d love to ask the driver what kind of oil is best.

I think that picture is from a movie.I've seen it somewhere,but what is floating to the top is that is a serviceman jumping onto the car,not a lawman.

Dave, keep them coming. The photos are great. It's early Ford. There are a few crabby folks you'll never please and I wouldn't worry about them.

How convenient that the driver has his window down! And what will happen when the driver hits the brakes? Will the cop suddenly be back on his motorcycle? I can't imagine this being a real police tactic unless maybe to stop a runaway car with an unconscious driver, and even then too dangerous as a runaway car is likely on its way into the ditch or into oncoming traffic!
Or maybe the crooks had better manners back then and just drove straight and steady so the cop could safely climb aboard?
