Thanks to those buildings at the corner of 55th & 8th Ave (well, and the monument in Columbus Circle...and the N.V.A. Club). It was taken on 8th Ave between 54th & 55th looking North up 8th Ave.

Red Bugs!

The Auto Red Bug was an electric micro car. They were designed by A.O. Smith in 1910. There were also gasoline versions. The design was sold to Briggs & Stratton, and manufacture was licensed to several firms internationally. Many were made in Lafayette, Indiana by American Motors.
