These pictures are great! I made copies of most of them and sent them to well-known automotive historian Fred Roe (Fred doesn't "computer") for his comments, which he was kind enough to send me. Fred said to use his comments any way I want, so here are some of them for you all to enjoy. Frank Wemple ******************************** Fred Roe's comments: [Picture No. 4:] Simplex, Sam Bailey's at the time, later B. Cunningham's as per 1972 Austie [Clark] postcard. [Picture No. 5:] Ed Roy's Simplex as you realize. [Picture No. 6:] Pretty sure this is (was) Terry Kilborne's Pierce-Arrow. Yes. [Picture No. 7:] Is a Lozier of Tom Lester and it was on the American Team in spite of its paint. [Picture No. 9:] Of course is Austie's [the late Henry Austin Clark, Jr.] 66 [Pierce-Arrow]. [Picture No.10:] Is F. W. Hutton-Slott's Lanchester of the British Team. I think this car was in the Haines collection in Canton, OH, when we visited at the Cleveland [CCCA] Annual Meeting. It was apart, motor out. [Picture No. 11:] S. J. Skinner [Rolls-Royce] from England - a very well known car - still. [Picture No. 12:] 3 cyl. Chase. [Picture No. 14:] Art Mellor (deceased) restored this car. He was from [Rhode Island]. Very dedicated historicaly. Ray Belsito [later restored it again]. Was owned in [Rhode Island] for a long time, but is now Ralph Marano's in New Jersey. [Picture No. 16:] 1904 Napier racing car owned by George Waterman, shown apparently before restoration completed by Frank E. H. Johnson. Charlie Fisher and I trespassed on an estate in Swampscott to peek in windows of coach house at night to see this car and a BIG 6 cyl. Napier Touring. Both still exist and the racing car went via Rockefeller and Harrah and now back to England. [Picture No. 17:] 30-98 Vauxhall of G.B. Team - a Mr. Melville, owner. [Picture No. 18:] Mercer - American Team. Ralph Buckley. [Picture No. 20:] Paul Cadwell's [Model 30 Packard] - should not have painted the [radiator], or [put on] oversize tires. [Picture No. 21:] 1900 Locomobile. Owner Leo Regan. [Picture No. 22:] The 3 cyl. Chase, no ID. [Picture No. 25:] Can't be positive but think this [Rolls-Royce] PI Ascot belonged to the late Prof. Charles Dufton on the basis of its color. [Picture No. 28:] Alvis 12-50 of British Team. [Picture No. 29:] The infamous "Hutton", a 4 cyl. Napier derivative built to take place in a special race in 1908. Driven here by "Steady" Barker and Cecil "Sam" Clutton, legendary veteran car people of G.B. [Picture No. 31:] The [Rolls-Royce] with [the] victoria top was around a lot, but I have never been able to pin it down. Ditto the high top [Rolls-Royce Limousine] [in Picture No. 32]. [Picture No. 34:] Is a Ford 6 cyl. Model K owned by one John Helden. [Picture No. 38:] This [was] homebuilt by one Ernest Johnson who was handy man and chauffeur to a lady named Agnes Lyons who was a writer and had a brother who was a priest. They had several cars but only Ernest drove them. I don't think she ever learned how [to drive]. She wrote for me in the "Bulb Horn" or some program at least once. Don't recall what happened to her or her cars. They had a [Pierce-Arrow] and a DeDion Bouton and maybe others. I'm sure the Johnson Special is still around.
