I posted these in the vintage pics thread, but they belong here also.

They are part of a photo album I saved from a recycle bin a few years ago. The pictures are all from the Tacoma, Washington and surrounding areas:

which begs the question how many horses in a cow?

 

Those Skoda Hispanos reminded me of a huge collection of Skoda Works pictures like these I once stumbled on but I can't find it

in transitioning from his two previous careers
- first as a logger, and then later, as a barrel
maker - to that of a fledgling automobile
designer and manufacturer!!!"

For the time, a risque French postcard.....

 

Uh, oh! This is why the Packard Gals always stick together as a posse. Now, this Don Juan has cornered one of them ALONE! Oh, my! Nyuk, nyuk.

Sometimes parking places are hard to find in Greenville, Mississippi.

 

This little tinkerer is probably a HAMB'er now.

 

Funny you should post this. About a year ago I was chasing bearings for my 1917 Maxwell at a bearing supply in Perry and the store owner mentioned someone else in town had a Maxwell. I've talked to the owner by phone and he says it is the car shown in the 1941 photo and was used to draw people into a relatives gas station. I can't wait to see what it looks like as it is unrestored but the owner does want to restore it someday. Hard to believe it survives after all this time and in the same family.

A very old HAMBER, who'd be pushing 80
by now. Speaking of "Little tinkerers
growing up to be HAMBERS" - and "never
understimating the imagination and creativity
of kids" - when I was about the same age
as that kid in the first pic, circa 1957-'58, I
remember attempting to "build a helicopter"
by hammering oil cans into the cylinders of
the freshly bored Model A block that my
dad was rebuilding for his '31 A sedan!!!

Thanks for the credit for taking the photo twin6 but that goes to Don O'Brien. My late father would of been 10 when the picture was taken in 1941, so I don't think I was around yet. LOL

 

LOL! Like Mark Twain... the rumors are greatly exaggerated. My apologies.
