'23 Buick with side curtains in. Most old pix you see show the open cars open and airy. Few with the curtains. I'm sure they were offered as an option for most makes. BUT, I remember seeing in a '20s mail-order catalogue my granny had that you could order after-market curtains for just about anything! Sort of like J.C. Whitney, only in the '20s!

 

Caption said Olds, but those headlights have me wondering.

 

This is a KEEN old pic. Man, I WONDER just where and when this
family shot was taken. Looks like, MAYBE, a couple of guys fresh
back from hostilities in France???

 

It's a FORD, 1938 or 1939 Standard.

Foundation for War Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo being poured in 1939.
It pretty much like that again today as they knoocked it down.

 

D&L terminal, 1917,. Buffalo, NY

 

Proud family with their car. What is it? Check out the carriage lamps.

 

Looks like one of the independents behind the BIG, happy family. Anybody?




Apparently two circa '20 Buick-loving families!

 

'20 REO



Neat pic of an extended Asian-American family outing. Somebody date
the car up front & we'll know about when it was taken? Calfornia?

 

Maybe a circa 1913 Stearns??
