30DodgePanel Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I'm constantly drawn to details in the background. Note the 36 passenger White Deluxe Parlor Car via Jackrabbit Lines on the billboard to the right. I'd imagine that was one class A ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Parenti looked like a rather innovative and interesting design - especially for 1920. Air cooled V8, Integrated wood body & plywood frame and an interesting and advanced front and rear independent suspension system, inboard rear brakes all rolling on plywood disk wheels. Another articles further on states that their distributors would cover "large territories... radiating concentric" to Buffalo and hold stock in the company. (Automobile Topics, Dec., 11, 1920) Details of the rear suspension assembly from Motor Age. Pretty advanced for 1920. Note the use of plywood disk wheels. That front suspension setup is reminiscent of Amédée Bollée fils' 1899 Tour de France race car. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) At the end of World War Two, my father lived here for two years. He said it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen. Things were different from Kansas in the Dirty Thirties, where he grew up. The where is the Bavarian Alps. A BMW 328 perhaps?

Walt G Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) the 27th automobile Salon was the last one held in NY, all salons were gone,after that as were many of the custom coach building companies. the souvenir programs issued for each of the salons held ( NY, Chicago, SF, LA) are very very good for information as to who supplied what -- not just body builders but who provided the hardware etc to make the bodies. Amazing research resource. I just purchased a 1923 Chicago Salon program yesterday. Another one to cross off my wanted list . I started to collect these programs 55 years ago, do not have a full set yet, but nearly so. Austin Clark showed me what they were and that is how I started my own quest to try to get all of them for all the Salons. Primary source material for my research to pen stories.

I looked it up and the 27th Automobile Salon was in 1932. This image appeared in a 1970's Cars & Parts magazine article by Hugo Pfau recounting his experiences as a LeBaron employee and more broadly about the custom coachbuilders and that business. Here is as good as I can get the image to improve, better than I thought. The Duesenberg J in the foreground was Car 2500, J479, Judkins berline, the Elizabeth Arden car.
