History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

Cool! Hard to find photos of these even though some 54,000 of them were built by Henry in '29. I own one...

 

what did they call that one?

 

1939

 

1936

 

A REO touring car in Turlock, California, circa 1907.

Baer Garage [ca. 1930]

 

1925, Orange Ca.

 

Business coupe - model 54A - made in '29 only. I've been told (and don't doubt) that Henry's next car with a window mounted in that location was the '55 T Bird. The more common soft top coupe was the sport coupe with a non-functioning landau bar on either side ('29 through '31). These 2 photos are the only ones I have seen in at least 10 years that date back to when the cars were new.

 

here's the Maxwell dealer from earlier....

 

The body of this car looks very similar to a '34 to '38 Pierce Arrow. I wonder what the Russian's called this car????

 

It's definitly a '36 or '37 Graham or Reo.

 

This is a '34 or '35 Hudson. Most likely a Terraplane. Here's a picture of a '34 Studebaker Commander for comparison. And here's a link to a very rare '34 President Coupe. A friend of mine is just finishing up a '34 President Coupe w/o side mount tires which is said to be rarer then the ones with them.

Here is a photo of Council Bluff, Iowa's Police Chief George L. Bennett's 1934 Hudson. Bennett purchased the "speedy" Hudson with his own money for police use. From left to right are: Patrolman Cortland E. Tisher, Captain Jesse H. "Jack" Dempster, Chief Bennett, and Captain Elmer C. Lane. (The photo was taken in front of the old police headquarters at Bryant Street and Vine. The large building in the background is the old Central Fire Station; behind that is the old Washington School cupola.)
