Gotta love the Graham Bros panel and the Dodge Bros Six Sedan below...

Some historical family information from the facebook link:

 

"Ira and Velma Pratt sit on the front bumper of their ""Dodge Brothers Six Sedan"" at their dairy in Visalia, CA, in 1929. Standing behind the car is daughter Gladys Pratt. The Pratts used the car to drive on their vacation to New York, taking an elapsed time of 117 hours to arrive there. " Now that's a story! 

 

May be an image of 3 people and outdoors

 

Note the "US" on the Post Office sign and the early MaBell sign. Who wouldn't be proud to have either of them...

Incredible shot. Probably the same location as the stage photo above.

 

Thank you Michael for preserving this history.

The more I view this photo, the more blown away I am.

 

Again, this information was listed on his facebook page:

"First Auto in Sequoia National Park, California. Image taken by Lindley Eddy of Kaweah, California and postmarked August 9, 1910. On July 14, 1910, a 25hp Hudson driven by Mr. H. T. Hayes drove from Visalia, through Three Rivers and proceeded up the Old Mill Road to Camp Sequoia. This postcard shows his card parked in front of the Giant Forest Store and Hotel."

The first race in Sweden 1905 on Lake Mälaren. All competitors is on the photo, there where only five participating cars at the event. To the left a Orient Buckboard or All-Velo as it was sold in Sweden, driver was engineer Carl Skånberg. Second a British Star driven by manager Erik Salomon. Third 1903-04 Cadillac Model A Tonneau, driver engineer H.A.Bertheau. Fourth Scania by engineer Viktor Wallenberg. Last a Cadillac Model B Tonneau, driver Richard Björkman.

Just an absolutely gorgeous car and setting

Pierce-Arrow 66, almost certainly Series 4 (1916-early 1918).  Despite the bold striping on the hood (not uncommon), the spotlight, and the double whitewall tires, I find it interesting that the electric horn (there was also a bulb horn under the hood for polite use with pedestrians) was painted rather than nickeled.

 

@30DodgePanel, thank you VERY much for this series of exceptional images!
