History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

------------------
I don't have Photoshop either, just a 'free
downloadable from the net' "Infan View"
program, but here's a much lightened up
and slightly enlarged version of your pic
for easier viewing. Enjoy!

Thanks, mart. Nice job.

 

A little lighter,,HRP

 

Sam Wainwright's (Mickey Rooney) car in the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" was a similar body. Ask him whose car it was.

The wire wheels are covered in the movie car.

See link below. It would be nice to have more frames of the car in the movie to get a better idea. Later in the scene it drives off with a great view of the rear of the car.

It appears to be J-114 / body #2137

 

Interesting car in that it appears to have a National radiator.....I don't have any info handy on if they had chain drive early on but they were definitely shaft drive from roughly 1909-10 on.
