Paris - 1910:

 

Locomobile from around 1910, note the Vanderbult Cup style radiator cap. This is a factory photo, most likely taken in Seaside Park in Bridgeport. Back in the 1960's there was a guy with cases of glass 8x10 negatives of Loco factory photos. Think they were going for $5.00 each, I bough a few I liked, sure wish I'd bought them all now.

 

White, with '15 PA plate. It looks like the seat is extended outside the cab, for the passenger. Does anyone know what the finials are, on either side of the radiator? And I'd love to know what the guy wearing the apron is holding or doing!

 

Bump

 

Happy campers: YWCA camp for girls, Highland Beach, MD. Underneath, a Packard runabout, probably a 733 (1930).

 

We have some pretty muddy roads here in the spring. These guys were up against a bad one, somewhere in France during WW1.

 

1905 White Steam Car

 

1915 White

 

Ladies' picnic, with a vee-windshield Franklin c. 1921.

 

T-Head was raised in a very humble home. Here he is sharing a mid day meal with Dobbins...

 

Different horse, different car guy. This shot is of Packard's 1st series twin six somewhere along the Lincoln Highway, and one of the guys seen here is probably Henry B. Joy. Bentley Univ. photo.

 

Caddy?

 

Definitely. It's a 1910 Cadillac Model 30....I know these well as a good friend of mine is restoring a 1909 that burned up in a fire in 1971.

 

...well what is he doin' trying to drive in the ditch on the side of the road for?

 

A lot of these photos make me wish I had a time machine, plus a safe way back with a big hauler. This one gets the imagination juices flowing...
