  1. I think you are right, Walt. According to our nephew's athletic son, a swimmer at the U of Arizona, and his team mates I am a "NARP" -- a "Non-Athletic Regular Person".
  2. How come I can't find the ConlRad symbol on my radio anymore? Kids today do not know what that is. My '55 Dodge still had it.
  3. Mine was a 1950 Plymouth four door sedan. No photo actually required. Just imagine how hot it was -- makes my blood pressure increase just thinking about it.
  4. Fort Leonard Wood -- yeah, I did basic there in 1962. It was known as Little Korea for a reason because of the Hill of Death we had to schlepp UP.
  5. Nevada Highway Patrol rolled in style. Anyone know the make and year of this car? It appears to be a 1933 or-so model year.
  6. Wow ! Another set of prize winning headlights. The lights on the Fiat were terrific and this second set is equally terrific. They look like they would have been costly to manufacture.
  7. 1892? That is a pretty rarified automobile date. The mystery car appears more like a 1907 Holsman Model 3 runabout. However the mystery car's wheels, especially the fellow areas, and the tire surfaces are not correct to a Holsman. The wheels etc appear to be relatively modern "repro". In addition the headlight lamps of the mystery car are different than a Holsman.
  8. Very nice headlights on this car. Were the headlights manufactured by Fiat or furnished by a different manufacturer?
  9. This Model T's radiator cap is a T hubcap. Hard times are obvious in this photo.
  10. Interesting photo. The woman riding in the right rear seat is wearing period correct sunglasses. The lenses are dark and most likely the color blue. One does not normally see old photos of people wearing sunglasses but indeed they did wear them. Blue was probably the most popular or most often purchased color lens, but there also were other colors such as shades of brown. The driver is wearing a great looking Texas style Stetson dress hat.
  11. Tom Dewey, Republican, campaigning for President in 1944. He is somewhere in California based on the California state flag flying from the left bumper.
  12. What I see on the sign: XMAS AFTERNOON DECEMBER 25 '21 3 lines illegible 4th line virtually illegible but seems to have a set of three words followed by a "v" and a second set of three words (the "v" signifying "versus"?) 5th line illegible VIC HANSON YOUNG COFFY Assuming that December 25th is a day for recreation, perhaps there was a football or basketball game that day. One Victor Arthur "Vic" Hanson was born July 30, 1903, died April 10, 1982. He played football and basketball at Syracuse, and I believe he played professional baseball. In the photo with the automobile, it is possible the man standing proudly in the center could be Vic Hanson. No on-line record of Young Coffy has been found. In the background of the automobile photo there appears to be an oil derrick with a pump arm and linkage to a hidden electric motor. Could this location be somewhere in Pennsylvania?
  13. Thank you, Walt. Do you now the story or back story on the early term "Stanhope"? A number of manufacturers sold a Stanhope model. Was the term Stanhope a person's surname who started the style, the name of a body producer, or something like the elastic term "Victoria"?
  14. This is an interesting photo. The bulge in the right front tire appears to threaten the stability of the car and lively hoods of the passengers. The style of the shirts worn by the men suggests styling norm from about the 1880s through 1910 or 1915 time frame. Hat styles can suggest something about time periods as well as possible location by the wearer. In this photo there are three examples of what is known as a "Montana pinch". The man wearing a dark shirt in the background sports a classic Montana pinch. Hence a best guess for the location of this photo is possibly Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming.
