Can someone please help me id the cars on this old photo and what would be the correct name for the large trailer holding these cars? I could not locate a photo like this showing these old cars in transport anywhere. I wonder if that's an old assembly plant in the background.

Thanks

Jr. :)

My grandfather used similar rigs in the thirties up to WWII to haul Dodge and Chrysler cars from the plant to a dealer in Williamsport and Gratz PA. He received a few more dollars to haul the Chryslers than the Dodges. He had special covers made to protect the cars because as an independent trucker he was responsible for any chips or scratches in the paint during transport.

I think these pictures also answer a post a month or two ago of a custom made wrecker which we were trying to pin down. Is this not the same front end that that old wrecker had?
