nzcarnerd Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Remarkable few (pre'32) 'square' cars. I have been trying to determine what the oldie is on the right but is not clear enough. Maybe an Oakland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to determine what the oldie is on the right but is not clear enough. Maybe an Oakland? If you are referring to the oldie on the right where the people are standing, it may be a '32 Nash. That's another '36 Olds in front of it. It was a big deal to attend the fair, we'd been through the depression and then the recession of '37-'38, so those going were most likely middle class folks and upward who were on a good financial footing. I believe that is why so few pre-streamline cars are seen. My Uncle Bob and Aunt Myrtle went, and brought me back a cast iron Greyhound bus as a present. Yup, still got it.

Guest Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Second row, second car in could certainly be an Oakland. Notice that it has aftermarket dual wipers. You can see the operating arm reaching across from the drivers wiper arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjay Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Those are "new" cars. I have a photo of my Dad and his twin brother with his 15 Ford and some other antique cars that were on display one day at the 1939 Worlds Fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The second car, second row behind the 1936 Oldsmobile coach is a Graham Prosperity Six sedan, introduced after May 1931. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
