This is inspired by another photo from @mozarts_ride.
He says this about Miss Lucy:
1931 Ford Coupe... an "Around Town" shot...Spoted "Miss Lucy" at a local antique store, just down the street from where I live.. You just got to love her flax water bag, attached to the front bumper... 😎

."Desert water bags were once a common sight on the highways of the American Southwest. Designed to keep water cool under hot conditions, desert water bags were available at service stations and general stores, where they could be filled with water and hung on the outside of the vehicle to keep cool. Desert water bags fell out of favor in the 1950s, but they are still made in limited quantities, and vintage desert water bags are valued by some as antiques."
