dibarlaw Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Photo of "Keenie's Garage" our Chevrolet dealer in my old home town of Monongahela PA. The date says 1928 but it is probably 1933 or 34 by the looks of the new Chevrolet on in the first floor show room. Notice the late 1920s cars on in the 2nd floor show room. That is where they had the used car department. I believe they also sold Oldsmobile there after WW ll as my father bought his new 1948 Olds there. Across the street from this was an equally period GULF station. Later the GULF station was leveled for Vickers Chevrolet used cart lot. I applied for a job as body man there in 1973 when it was Vickers Chevrolet. The entire city block was leveled and now there is a SHEETZ gas station convenience store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Ok here is a Packard Sport model , I have at least two friends who own one of these cars with this body type, really super cool machines. Very sleek lines for the era, really low profile and stance . thanks to all once again for looking at all this stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I like the double rear spares on the Packard. Not that crazy about the whitewalls. What a beautiful car. Keep them coming, Walt. I'd like to see every photo in your collection. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if any Sport Model chassis were sent to custom coachbuilders for one-off designs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Don thanks for the comment, if you ever saw a Sport Model in person you would be lost for words, they are so pretty. I will keep them coming, - see every photo in my collection - yikes, that is over 55 years worth of collecting pre war material more specifically of coach builders, body design etc. and the photos, images in period magazines especially the European ones are almost unknown here in the USA. the earlier postings of the Mercedes-Benz fastback and Delage town car came from the European magazines that were printed on coated stock paper which allows incredible reproduction when scanned. Just the magazine OMNIA alone - it was printed monthly from about 1920 to 1936 and I have nearly a full run and it was a hefty magazine. It just goes on and on. It gives me great pleasure to share what I have. Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 This brass era runabout was parked outside a service station in Delavan, WI. That is my father and my Aunt sitting in it, the pictures are from the 1930s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Man Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Looks late 30's. Late 30s sedans in the background, tough years before WW2, strange to see 3 new cars together. Is that a hurse or ambulance behind the car? Looks like 1927-8 vintage with a side opening rear door. 1910 Krit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Good to see that a lot of people are not becoming bored with these period photos and images and the interest continues. Makes me very pleased that we are all sharing pictures that were taken for the most part 70+ years ago of vehicles of an era long gone but one that we all seem to cherish and respect. Guess I will have to keep posting a few and hope all of you do so as well. Edited February 13, 2020 by Walt G typo (see edit history) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryankazmer Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The Packard is a Landaulet, since both front and back, but not middle, open. Whose coachwork? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 I am In the middle of something , will get back to you with the coach builder just want to be certain - check the size of the back door on the Cunningham and the second fixed cowl at the back of the front seat.

58L-Y8 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) The Packard is a 1932 Individual Custom Series 904 All-Weather Landaulet. Designs were created by Dietrich with various configurations for the upper structures but built in-house when Packard decided to get a greater share of the dwindling custom body business. Who built or supplied which body style gets clouded at this point. The Studebaker is a President Model 90 State Victoria on the 136" wheelbase.

keithb7 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) See this this old photo of the Firetruck. 1930's I believe. I am extremely fortunate as I still get to drive it today. The frame was shortened, however it is still is on the road and takes part in many local vintage car events. Attached is a photo of my wife helping me get it ready for a parade last Nov. 2019. I believe it's stayed local here in Kamloops its entire life since it was new. Currently it is in the hands of the Kamloops Vintage Car Club. Which I am a member of. We own and take care of it (we baby it). We bring it out for everyone to see whenever we can. Several times a year.

Walt G Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Keith, thanks for the photos! to all others thank you as well for sharing all these great "of the era" photographs. It is really nice to know that there is a strong group of regulars here at this thread that are as enthusiastic as I am . ( I know several friends who are looking at this are also thinking - yes and as crazy too) Each image is telling a story, and in doing so is honoring those that had contact with the marvelous vehicles we see here. The common bond we have is wonderful, it also justifies and renews our passion - there are those who think "history is just the past" well it is but to many of us, we can have a window to that past by seeing these photographs that someone thought important enough to take decades ago. They were proud to have a photo of the car or truck , it meant something to them, just like it means something to us. Walt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the hood sides of the mystery car, it has fixed vents, not vent doors as the Chevy pictured here.
