An Irish Jaunting Car, County Kerry. Photograph by J. Valentine & Co., registered 31 August 1950.

This postwar photo was taken at Bray Head, a resort on the opposite side of Ireland from Dublin, about 325 kilometres to the southwest. As automobiles took over the cab trade, jaunting cars took on a new life as tourist attractions and despite their spartan and even precarious seating arrangements they remain popular with tourists today.
