History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Sorry Gary, Not Photo Shop, which I don't know how to do. It was in an issue of Special Interest Autos before Photo Shop even existed. I've been looking for that picture for three days. I did goof though, it wasn't the cosmetic magnets luxury car. It may of been a publicity stunt. It was made from wood.

 

I missed 5:00 eastern time, but it's just about 5:00 central time. Here are some Model T's.
Is that T6 with a bonnet on inside the house car as a kid in the last photo getting ready to go away for the holiday weekend?

 

So what was the reason for the fire (I can't read the text in your pix)? Gary

 

Here are a few more T's ready for the weekend.
Two are ready for the parade and one looks like it's ready for the party.

 

Ok 2 more Model T's.
Are they checking the weekend weather?
Is that the in-laws going for a ride behind the T?

 

Original Storm Chasers? First TIV? Josh's grandfather?

 

Not too flattering for the gent, but still an interesting shot of a.... a... Scripps-Booth?

 

Good thing I have good eyes (lots o luck).

Text reads;

So, Paul Bunyan's Studebaker stood till 1934 by which time it was starting to deteriorate quite badly.

It's second coat of paint was peeling, both door handles were gone, some of the molding strips around the rumble seat were saginf, and two window channels had blown off.

In the summer of 1934, a Studebaker employee drove out to the big roadster with a can of gasoline. He first removed all five hubcaps so they could be saved, then opened the rumble seat for ventilation, dumped gas on the left front tire, lit a match and ran.

The wooden Studebaker burned so quickly that within twenty minutes, only the tires gave any clue to what the rubble had been.

 

How about another Packard with 'the girls"?
I think T6 told me this is a 1912.

 

A couple more all decked out for the parades...
1912 Buick and 1912 Cadillac.

 

T6 & EG how about this Regal Underslung......

 

Another Overland for Cannuck????

 

I like that Regal.
As for "my eye"...maybe I've spent more time looking...
In this photo, I'll compliment the Rambler... and the dog.

 

Here is another photo. The text I read said that this was located on the Studebaker proving grounds and was constructucted as an advertisement and tourist attraction. Studebaker burned it in 1936 because it was outdated according to an archivist at the Studebaker National Museum.

 

I'd guess Mitchell, but we'll have to wait for the official word.

Here's an Overland and a really big cow.

 

And more Model T's. My Grandfather's Ford dealership and a shot of the repair shop ftom the early 20's. It was located on main street in Bountiful, Utah. The building is still in use.
Bob.

 

Thanks for this photo. I've never seen it in color.

 

'13. Very nice. No wheat germ or mush required.

 

A very handsome National in Ohio in 1913. John Conde photo.

 

Not sure if these guys were celebrating the 4th, but with a Harley single and a few flags, I figured this is a must-post.

 

That is Orville Redenbacker and his Bro before they became popcorn magnates....

 

The cow is bigger than the Overland.......Did every Overland come with a cow this big??

 

Thanks for the welcome.

Other photos of Big Lizzie have been posted already, but here's a different one;

 

<DD class=date>1905 <DT class=description>Description: <DD class=description>This image depicts a bridge over the Connecticut River connecting Bellows Falls, VT with Walpole, NH. The bridge was built in 1905 and at 540 feet long, it was America's longest through arch for many years. Here, painters stand on top of the bridge behind a sign that reads "Erected by towns of Walpole and Rockingham 1905 Lew F. Shoemaker & Co. Builders, Philadelphia, PA." </DD>
