Reckon these be furrin'

 

Packard model N, with fixed top.

 

A 1910 Stanley Steamer and in the back is a 1940 Packard Darin

 

John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in a 1914 Stutz Bearcat

 

A 1911 Ford and Jimmy Durante... what a pit crew!

​

Buster Keaton and his 1928 Austin

I don't think it is a 1928 since American Austins like this didn't come out til 1930.

 

WC Fields with a 1930 Bantam movie car, in the movie 300 Yard Drive

Note 1939 New York Plates

 

No, that 1939 Pontiac isn’t a trick, an optical illusion. It’s genuinely see-through, one of two that GM built for the 1939 and 1940 World’s Fairs.

 

Touring car, make unknown, c. 1909-10.

 

See Thru Packard

 

Another unknown, cruising through redwoods.

 

Posted elsewhere on the HAMB, a great shot of a Crocker in Hawaii, 1936.

 

Old meets new. Buick?

 

Traction engines at work in New York. In my opinion, the American ones are nowhere near as refined or handsome as the ones made in England, but they are all impressive and fun to see at work.

CAPTION - "While always a stickler for
saving weight, even Bruce now admits that
he screwed up and left the body for his new
racer in the acid-dipping tank 'a little bit
too long'!"

Lindbergh in a Packard model 336 phaeton, probably just before a parade.

 

I've never seen so many Packards in a photo that wasn't a factory job. These are all waiting for the Lindbergh parade in LA, 1927.

 

No steam in a while, so here's today's dose. None other than William F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody at right, next to a 1913 Stanley mountain wagon, in Cody, WY. I am told the front passenger seat visited via his own rail car to go game hunting but died the day after this picture was taken. LOC photo.

 

This car is fairly dirty...
