One of them does not appear dressed for the season.

Perhaps her dress is flowered, though, and not tweed as it appears to me.

You just don’t seen enough cream-linen suits these days.

Sometimes ya just gotta go.....1918....

 

Is that a clergy cross on the Franklin?

 

Looks it, and quite possibly the car's owner has his back to camera, preaching to his flock? Third series twin six next to the Franklin. Others?

 

Check out the unusual fenders on this T in the Philippines.....

 

Vintage road building....

 

Here are the Ford Girls. They have come to give the Packard Girls some competition.

The two Ford V-8 automobiles had an outdoor camera crew standing on there roofs while filming a chorus line on August 7, 1935. It is believed that the 1934 and 1935 Ford sedans were owned by one of the Hollywood Movie Studios and were used to film the dancing Ford girls at an elevated camera angle.

I think there's enough there for an eagle eye to identify the make of car (maybe even the critter the lady is wearing too).

 

Looks like '32 Chevy roadster, but with a menacing radiator cap and different wheel treatment.

 

Life was grand in days of yore. One could bag himself a deer and cook up some venison using the exhaust from their car.

 

Looks like a Franklin to me

Working on a mail van in England, 1934. Only in England would you find a mechanic in a pit wearing a necktie. British Postal Museum photo.

 

A 1916 Holmes tilt bed carrier earning it's keep.....

 

Hard to know for sure, but I'm dating this photo from the tow vehicle.

 

Check the accessories on this T... drum type cowl lights, a horn that might double as a rain gauge, and what looks like a Caddy radiator cap. Not to mention the paint scheme and his best gal...
