History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Anaheim, Calif. 1917.....

 

...with a bald front tire that's worn through at least one layer of fabric....
.

 

This sedan maybe a Flint.

 

That could mean it was taken during the tire-rationing days of the Second World War, which would make it a ‘41 or ‘42.
