History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

This car is still around. Restored by Ton Lester about 20 years ago, all the bright parts are copper plated.

 

Candid shot of one of the Packard gals, after her health spa session at Boiling Springs, PA.

 

And after you've gotten that spa treatment, what better place for a good meal than Dorn's, Manhasset, NY. Worth the drive from Boiling Springs, and Packards are obviously welcome...

 

I want the record to show I did not join in the monkey business today.
This one looks like a 1914 Overland 79T. Lets see if Cannuck agrees.

 

Gentlemen and their Humbers. Check the headlights - rigged for coon huntin'.

 

...

 

This might be the only car we have seen so far, where nails were used in the custom bodywork.

 

Topped up on soda, and ready to roll...

 

No monkeying around today I'm going w/mans best friend.....

 

37kid......Are you related to this guy??

 

T-Head, been a while, but I recall reading a long piece on the company, and they said this model had lots of extras and innovations on it (Eddie was big into safety & state-of-the-art) so it was pretty costly to buy. AND, it came too late in the game, as demand for Rickenbackers had been steadily declining. I am also of the opinion that Everitt & Eddie were better at car-building than at marketing.



Front fenderss worthy of a modern hotrod!!!

 

Kelleys traveling candy kitchen from Sacramento, CA.

 

Tell Kelley to get ready: this gang is hungry for some sweets, and they are headed his way.

 

Posing with the baby, near a train wreck in New Mexico.

 

T6....That looks like it maybe a Knox....

 

How about this? A cloverleaf or chummy roadster, probably from 1916 - 17, but I am clueless on the make.

 

Not a plate collector, but a look into an era when one made do with whatever was on hand.

 

Two White trucks at work. Hauling oil in cans on the left, and in Lewiston, Idaho on the right.

 

I have seen this elsewhere on HAMB but found it at Modern Mechanix magazine.

She looks like she's really thrilled about it......

 

In 1932 The NH Legislature appropriates $200,000.00 for the establishment of new industries. The license plate shop, sign shop, the print shop and the farm are seen as the most promising fields. This photo shows the first licence plate shop in the state prison.

 

No Duesenbergs in 1913..it's a Mason.

 

Looks like an Overland.

 

T-Head-
I agree. Does that make us both smart or wrong?

 

We could be both???

 

Here's a nice 1909-10 EMF. Looks like they brought in the horses to clean up the mess.

 

Neat Buick. Check out the shine on the left rear and right front fenders and lack of shine and added support bracket on the side of the left front. Must have taken some abuse and had some painting done.

 

You've been sniffing to many racing gas fumes over on that racing thread.....

 

Maybe the polisher had AADD????

 

This guy was framed.....photo from 1937....
