History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Renault full of either cops or soldiers. Either way, they probably won't get pulled over for that missing headlight lens.

 

Great stuff ,,, Keep em comming.

 

Start of TT lightweights, 1930.

 

I'm thinking, yes, Lili Damita on the Packard running board,
only with clothing. But, hey, I was WRONG about the young
Marilyn Monroe before! LOL. She got the nickname "Lili
Dynamita"! Wonder why. 1935, maybe she was not yet
married to Erroll Flynn?

 

Damita & husband Erroll Flynn returning from Honolulu, 1941.
Photo THANKS to the WikiMedia Commons project. They were
married in '35 when Flynn was not yet anybody in Hollywood.
They had a son, Sean, in '41, and were divorced in '42 (same
year as Flynn's rape trial; don't know if there was a correlation
of events there!).

 

My grandma handed down these old family photos to me.

 

Neat Picture

Was that an oversize "Gatling Gun" style cannon, and what country did it belong to? I know it wasn't U.S..

 

For identification, take your pick from this lot. http://www.jmariete.com/principal/modelos_reales/renault_1900-1930.htm My guess is one of the E series models around 1912-14.

 

I see there is something about these here - http://panzerkampf.org/forums.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=63&page=5 All you need to do is translate it.

 

Possibly a 1927 Chrysler 50 sedan and a 1923 Buick http://www.carlotphotographer.com/car-lot-photos/1923-buick.jpg

 

Sorry, I can't translate the description and I can't find out anything else about the behemouth.

Hopefully, there will be someone else who can do the translation or, who may know more about the armament.

 

He did well for a "boy from Tasmania, Australia". He was not Irish as some of the publicity intimated.

He was expelled from high school in Sydney. The reasons/alleged reasons are interesting.

A few more pics of her. Remember. The period is before Mr. Flynn.

That photo of the Packard speedster in Paris has bugged me. It has been posted a few places over the past few years. It seems to me somone should recognize the car or the woman.

I am sure I was not the first to think of Lili.

An american car, likely customized in Paris, destined for perhaps Britain or Australia. A friend indicates that his RHD Packard was one of very few that exported to Australia with disk wheels. Wires were the rage there.

We need a serious history buff here figure it out or take another stab at it.
