The tour visited the home of Mr. and Mrs Robert S. Jepson, Jr. at their Gregory Neck Plantation in South Carolina. They hosted a coffee break there, and were a delight in sharing auto appreciation.

If they were 1/10the price I would find them interesting. But at the crazy prices they sell for I would rather have an MGB which is basically the same thing to me. It is 'only' a 190SL. I guess even when new they were not cheap. Today it is only the very high prices for 300s that is bringing up the 190 prices. I have not had anything to do with them but my son works at a restoration shop and has driven one. He was less than impressed by it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a 1913 Ford, though it appears to have been updated with electric headlamps and cowl lights. I have been looking at period photos to see if there was pinstriping on 13 Fords. While I have met with mixed results, this photo presents a solid vote in the NO column. Thanks for posting it. Car has been repainted, look at radiator. Would rethink striping comment.

Notice the 1930/'31 model A Ford sedan delivery near the middle!

Agree great photo , but coming from Uk I notice many of the shops are single story whereas in Uk are mostly the ground floor of at least 2 storeys , often homes above , if fact my first 11 years were spent above and rear of a cash register shop , lovely machines .

HK500 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Here's a great looking Franklin 12. The Japanese book " America Classic Cars" published in 1961 had this exact picture, and identified it as a LeBaron body. That book is full of great original pictures of big Classic Cars. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK500 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The photographer was in Evanston Illinois - is this the Evanston Packard Dealer? Looks like first or second series cars in the window. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK500 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 And the service area - also looks like the newest thing being worked on is an early straight eight car, off to the right. And some much earlier cars, possibly twin six to the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the town I grew up in the downtown are had mostly two and three story buildings with professional offices and a few apartments on the upper floors. In the other smaller retail areas they tended to be one story until one of the early shopping centers in America was built there in about 1957. Still in use.

Walt G Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Great photos of the two convertible sedans, a pair of true custom bodied vehicles! I wonder if both vehicles were owned by the same person? Perhaps the fellow to the left in the photo. It would be very historically correct and proper to dress as he is outfitted and bring your car on the right to the next concours event! You could produce a copy of this photo to prove that all is exactly period correct - maybe even get bonus points so you could get the top premier award! It may promote a new attitude and presence at PB and Amelia! Get both of them shown here invited to park next to each other. The only thing I am disappointed of in this period photo is that the Conestoga custom to the left does not have the optional white wheels nor the chrome plated wood spokes.

twin6 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Eligible for that new class at Pebble Beach? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Yes, that will fit the new "Pebble" class perfectly. Official hat and goggles too! This particular example would loose at least1,000 points for the bent front license plate and chassis muck. Still needs to be tarted up a bit for PB though with plated wheels, polished hood, and the addition of pairs of fog, spot, driving lamps and a 35 lb. gold plated flying pelican for a radiator cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
