1937hd45 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Are there photos of the top down and covering the trunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) The full-length, over-the-cowl hood with sweeping hood doors and opening line is very avant garde for a ca 1929-'30 Lincoln L. As Walt G notes, proportions are always the key. The severe abbreviation of the body mass juxtaposed against the low, separate trunk brings to mind any number of hapless pre-war coupes whose utility was increased by cutting away the deck and installing a pick-up box.

hddennis Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Before I pass any judgement on this car I'd really like to see what it looks like with the top down. Do any photos exist of it that way? Howard Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like it’s a inordinately high roof. Would like to know more about that three ring symbol if you have any upclose photos of it. Over the years I've seen other references to the meaning such as Ballantine rings (inverted however) and the drummer of Led Zeppellin had the symbol on his bass drum, and some churches have it as The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit as the meaning. It would be interesting to know what the significance was to the owner or builder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1935Packard Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Can't say I have plans to put chains on my '34 convertible sedan, but then I live in California. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Interesting photo. Having driven early 30’s cars in deep snow, you certainly need chains to move or you get stuck very easy. Lester tires are absolutely the worst in snow, three inches and even on flat ground you go nowhere. Look at how the ladies have dresses on……….todays ladies wouldn’t even consider stepping into an un heated car without full ski gear on.

Walt G Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Also notice the lady on the left has leopard skin accents on her sleeves and hat. There were no real animal advocates, activists back then . Lester tires even on wet roads that have grooves cut into them at the curves can be an interesting "dance" is the grooves in the tires and the road line up on the wet surface as well. Old car "hip hop" before those words were proclaimed a new dance form . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And "WEED" was a tire chain manufacturer that was also a Cadillac and Packard factory accessory......not what you were smoking Saturday night. I actually have a set of Cadillac-LaSalle factory chains for a 1932 V-16 in the original leather bag. Has a great logo on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Well, here we are , Ed admits he is happy to have a bag of chains with a Cadillac logo on it, His big wheels he rode on in 1969 ( I had been out of high school for two years by then and owned a car with running boards for 5 years) - what is the world coming to? Hey - that is cool, ( except I don't like plastic rides) and he and I and several others from Ca. to New England are a bunch of squirrels - yes we are all nuts. James Melton in the AACA magazine back in the 1960s addressed car collectors as "Fellow Squirrels" I like that and it suits us well. 😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Tire chains were great for traction on snow-packed roads, but hell to ride on and listen to whapping on dry pavement.

I was way too old for it, as was a friend of mine from school who I was with. Both of us had this crazy idea to each get on one and race each other down the aisle! A store clerk must have been watching us, as she came over, told us very sternly that we were 'too old' for them and made us put them away before we had the chance to even get on them!!

kfle Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 1909 Photo of the Cole Carriage Company next to the new Cole Motor Car company. The Cole Carriage company was dissolved that year after selling off the last of their Cole high wheelers while JJ Cole launched his Cole 30 motor cars under the Cole Motor Car Company. Indianapolis State Fair. JJ Cole produced 172 Cole high wheelers under his Carriage company before realizing that high wheelers were not the future of the auto industry and deciding that a car company could not be associated with carriages. This is why he dissolved the old company and launched the new one. Henderson Motor Sales was the exclusive Cole Motor Company dealer during 1909. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 Refreshments in glass bottles with metal bottle caps ( not the twist off kind) and was it beer or"soda pop". Now rarely do people use the 'pop' second word of description. Everything is abbreviated to communicate faster and with less effort: Soda ( no POP) , Pebble ( No Beach) , Amelia ( No Island) , before you know it we will all be using less words for cities/destinations : we will be going to San, or New, or Los, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
