Carl Bohland's Auto Wash Bowl (2015)

20•thunderbong•3mo ago
(https://www.vintag.es/2019/12/the-auto-wash-bowl.html is blogspam of OP but adds some interesting images)

> The problem, however, was that his technique only really cleaned the underside of the cars. This was useful back in the days when many roads were still unpaved and their undersides constantly got filthy.

I know a guy who dropped out of high school and started his own logistics company for moving specialized equipment. He then also built a business of semi-trailer truck washes in rural areas where they would pick up LOTS of dirt and mud on unpaved roads.

As someone who lives in a state that uses road salt I wouldn't mind such an undercarriage wash option I could quick driver over, but those are typically bundled into a typical car wash.

Url changed from https://www.weirduniverse.net/blog/comments/carl_bohlands_au..., which points to this.

Edit: changed from https://www.vintag.es/2019/12/the-auto-wash-bowl.html to original source; see below.

SirFatty•3mo ago
Vintage.es copies pictures and stories from other sites, whole cloth, and passes it off as their own. Search for any story they post and you can easily find the original author.
dang•3mo ago
Ok, let's see what we can find...

Edit: indeed, the odds of this text having been appeared independently in two sources do appear rather small:

> A fun note: The architect on the job, William C. Presto, was a former employee of Louis Sullivan’s who later gained fame for giving the destitute Sullivan his last commission, designing the façade of the Krause Music Store in Lincoln Square and the lavishly decorated Art Deco building at 6424 N. Western.

We've changed the URL to what appears to be the original source and banned vintage.es as blogspam. Thanks!

camtarn•3mo ago
Unfortunately, vintag.es does seem to have done some work here - while they copied the text, they also added several more images to the single image in the original post.
dang•3mo ago
Good point. I've added a note about that to the toptext.
