auburnseeker Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Ok not quite automotive on the first 2 but one of them is a Ford. The rest are a few photos from dealer albums I listed last night. Figured I might as well share before I delete the photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These shows were all in Missouri at the Willys-Overland building. I’m finding this morning with a magnifying glass that There are some overview type shots that show some luxury cars. I’ll keep posting or send the books to a friend to do it correctly. I’m just taking pics with my IPad. Thanks for the interest. I’m so pleased that you all seem to be enjoying them. Rick Here are few more: Glad you are using the magifying glass - turns out there are cars out there in which no photo can be found of them and it turns out that you nee to look "in the background" - and that may be all that may ever be found. This Locomobile was literally close to a dot on a photo: We were hunting pictures of the 1929 Stearns knight - the light colored car with the tan convertible top in middle of photo And, we found the Stearns Knight in this photo, but turns out both cars behind it are equally significant (a town car that is some odd duck on left and the landaulette on the right) and would be "dreamy' to find better photos of those too (actually most everything in this room is incredible). 14 minutes ago, Doozer said: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doozer Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Wow you have the eye. I was PM’ing with A.J. Last night and told him that I really didn’t think there was anything good in the albums. I hope I was wrong in that assessment. Could you please tell me what this car is. Please keep your observations coming, much appreciated. Thanks Rick Edited April 28, 2020 by Doozer Typo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 On page 87 of this thread 1937hd45 posted a photo of a suspected Grout in service with the Whitman Grocery Company. Taking a look in my musty dusty digital files I found a photo of a 1900 Grout in the service of Weston Motors. The photo I have was gleaned from an online Google book. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 1906 Haynes Tonneau -- $2,550. According to an online inflation calculator $2,550 in 1906 inflates to $73,453.87 in 2019. The 2020 inflation calculation is not yet available. I often think about the real world relative cost of these old automobiles. $2,550 was a whopping lot of money back in 1906. Little wonder that Henry Ford went for low cost and high quantity sales rather than high cost and low quantity sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 A friend found and sold one of those show models a few years ago. Story was they didn't get the floor space for more cars so models were built of other body styles. Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 A little change of pace, have a book simply titled "Porsche" written by Herbert A. Quint, published in 1951 before his namesake cars were very well known. Book is written in German, so I'm limited to being able to show some early photos, perhaps someone can choose to translate the captions. The first is a line-up of VW-30 series Volkswagens dated January 1936, (for those curious, the original design drawings are in book, dated 1931 and 1932). Second photo is a field full of Porsche 356's dated 1950, so pretty early in their run. Finally a nice Porsche 356 touring in 1950 through the mountains, a wonderfully timeless beauty. it is interesting that both these timeless design idioms/concepts have had very very long lives, 90 years for the VW, and about 70 for Porsche. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I believe all Ts built in Canada had working drivers door as some were for overseas sales with right hand drive. My 12 Canadian T has 4 doors that work. Front doors are extremely hard to find for a 12 T being only made in Canada with many being removed and lost way back when. Plus with many being shipped overseas.
