oldcarfudd Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 CoachJC - Is that Al Acres's 1913 Cadillac? He did a spectacular job of restoring it. I haven't seen him and Karen at HCCA tours for quite a while. Are they OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Packard emblem on the dash (as well as a very rare Packard embossed leather key chain fob) John, as you can surmise, these two photos are of incredible interest to me. Can you give me any information as to where these photos originated? From what I can tell, based on the Chevy I see through the windshield, the time period is certainly 1932 or later. If you could, I'd love to have the hi-res images emailed to me. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCK81403 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 This thread needs to be spiced up a little. How about three hotties dressing up an Ajax tires ad! And those tires are good for 5000 miles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent some time this summer with them doing some movie shoots with our cars. I showed him these pics of his car this summer as he had never seen them before.

LCK81403 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 RE Keiser31's Buick photo. Yep, it's a '38 with the large grill bars. Just like the attached photo of a '38, that conveniently has a ID plate on the right front bumber saying "1938 BUICK". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in plain sight, but not indexed well, so easy for people to just pass over them and not recognize the significance of the shifter angle and ... - I actually posted them just for you on the fluke never seen (was hoping I stumbled into something, but the flip side of the coin would have been "everyone knows these exist"). I accidentally deleted the link, but I know where they came from and will find it for you.

1937hd45 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Ira Vail in the H.D.Carpenter owned 122 MILLER 1925 INDY 500. I have the paperwork for running this car in the 1925 season, from the bill of sale for $6,500 (one year old car at the time) to the bill of sale to fellow Philadelphia MILLER owner M.A. Yagel at the end of the season.

58L-Y8 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The two Pierce-Arrows, either Series 32 or 33, must have been a custom coach-built pair for the same client. Notice the unusually long wheelbase and extremely wide rear door on the town car. Both have the tall top-hat roofs and severe, upright appearances. Surprising are the wire wheels on such formal cars. Only the matching front bumpers which were likely aftermarket options look modern at all.
