They were just married and he was 18 and her 16 in this photo. I was lucky enough to know them. Miss them dearly and my fascination for the period comes from their stories. There’s a little exposure from something else on the right side but, it’s a 98 year old negative!!

I enjoy your posts. Thanks for the laugh, and good luck with old cars. Mine is 1935 - moderately old, dignified, and short of boyish good looks.

John_Mereness Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) This is a challenge given the angle of the photo, though this popped up on Facebook last night and is probably a Reo Royale Victoria - I was hoping it was the rare and illusive Reo Royale Dietrich Sports Sedan, but the windshield is too rounded at the top.

Walt G Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 WOW. Most interesting to see the grille guard on the Packard convertibe victoria. I have the same one fitted to my 1930 series 733 touring car. I found mine at Hershey about 3 or 4 years before I bought the car I own ( in 2016) and bought it just because in my estimation it is so beautiful ( cast bronze frame with brass rods for the vertical bars - it was made in New York City) My personal view is that it looks so much better then the mesh style stone guard ( most restored cars have ) which due to its design stops the flow of your eye . These bar grill guards , compliment the design and style of the shell and hood sides . The cast bronze frame and brass bar construction is not a light weight accessory! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is soft in composition too, not cast out of brass or bronze.
