FamilyHistoryGal Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 These 2 attached photos were recent "finds" from a couple of old family photo boxes I borrowed from my Aunt. I'm very curious what makes/models these two cars might be! Also, was it common back then for people to take pictures featuring their automobile, while sitting in it in the grass?! )Thanks VERY much for any help you can provide!-FamilyHistoryGal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG57Roadmaster Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Great <span style="font-style: italic">photos</span>! Remember, back then the reason those photos are "posed" is due to the slow shutter speeds of the day's cameras. If you moved much, you'd be a blur.TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 WOW! Two great quality photos, thanks for finding the secret to posting them. Back in the day it was quite common to have the family dress up and have a photo taken in the new car, they cost as much as a house some times. Question for the REO people, is that a painted on panel on the upper rear door? I know many cars had cane work, but that pattern is very unique.

Layden B Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Actual cane work, used on 1910 cars only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
