History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

...

 

Sorry for the splice jobs on these photos. I am looking for both of them in the uncut format if anyone knows were to find them.

The first one is a Model T Speedster made to look like a Bugatti. The second one is a modified T roadster.

 

This is what is called real old fashioned service.

 

oh man, thats sexy

 

Don't mess with these triplets and their 1920 Haynes.

 

Posted this on another thread,guess it should be here as well;

Maybe a thread follower overseas will recognize the make.

 

Gas station romance......

 

Two women and their Dodge at Eagle Rock in Los Angeles.

 

It's always fun to see kids in the posed photos.

 

Happy motorist in a big rig, fitted out with all the right stuff.

Women and a T Ford at the White house.

 

I just noticed that there is a 1936 Pontiac in the photo.......

 

The 1932 Essex Girls.......

 

Not the Essex girls...

 

1909 Ocean to Ocean race.

T6, TH, Earlyguy, what car is this?

 

Not the Essex girls....Those rich Packard Twin Six girls look like they have had plenty to eat. Make be they need to go to Camp Climax back on post #277.

 

Who were the Entrants??

 

. Other long-distance outings of note included one man and his chauffeur covering 10,000 miles in the United States with no breakdowns, as well as a Pathfinder 12 driven by Walter Weidely (son of George Weidely, the designer of the engine under the hood) cross-country for a total of 4921 miles.

Engines in Pathfinders started with four-cylinder engines, proceeded to six-cylinders, before culminating in Weideley 12-cylinder engines in 1916. The V-12 engined cars were called "Pathfinder the Great, King of the Twelves."


T Head,

Here is (supposedly) a photo of George Weidely racing an X, who knows when, pre WW2, in PA. The same George Weidely who designed the oversquare, SOHC, air cooled, 45 degree VIA, roller rockered, 846 cu in monster Premier in the the Indy museum for Carl Fisher in 1905 ? And a very nice SOHC with finger followers with a central gear, shaft driven cam shown in the 1917 edition of the MGA. His big ideas seem decades ahead, but what ever happened to him ? Do you know if he was involved in the Peugeot copy Premiers ?

I know that Packards are tough, but that one girl's gonna leave a BAD dent!!!

 

Mac, I think they'd backed the twin six up to this more than once for a download. Noaker's was in Canton, Ohio and sold out to Borden's. Looks like another White.

 

This photo just proves that V-12 Cadillac Girls are a lot better looking than V-12 Packaderm Girls.

 

Twin6 you are a mind reader.......I think they washed it down with this truck load.....

 

... maybe that's why Packard never considered the slogan "Ask the woman who owns one"???

 

My thought on that is that Premier was a very capable firm that could make anything. I think Carl Fisher contracted w/them to copy the Peugeot.

Do you know of any contact between the two firms? Perhaps we should study that over at the racing thread if we can come up with more info??
