30DodgePanel Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Some of the work behind the scenes has been done for generations that we sometimes take for granted. Amazing how a good photographer can turn any topic into art by capturing the real essence of what took place at that moment in history. Are white walls on a lift necessary though? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how a good photographer can turn any topic into art by capturing the real essence of what took place at that moment in history. Sage words my friend, so very very true. Recent history ( ie the stuff our grandparents were around for) is all but forgotten except for the highlights that the news wants us to see, read, hear .......... History is not just facts - I have always felt this way as a historian for local/state history as well as for vehicle/automotive history. The broad picture of what was happening at the same time and influenced and shaped what took place needs to be known, told in a manner in a story that is not so boring to read it can cure serious insomnia. It has to be a "good read" and if possible supported by period images. I attempt to do this with what I research and write. Readers need to be inspired to think , to me that is the success of a good story teller. thank you for taking the time to read this.

nzcarnerd Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 A not very clear photo from a facebook page. Make and model as yet unknown. As acquaintance has tidied it up a little. Actually quite a lot. Note the lack of running boards. The drum style cowl lamps, and their position, are reminiscent of Marmon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me wondering, is it unusual now for someone aged in their 40s to know who Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth are, let alone what rides are in their backdrop, or is it commonplace among prewar enthusiasts? Loretta Young's 1932-67 Buick sedan has always intrigued me....not an open car, a sedan, interesting.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Los Angeles, California, exact location and date not provided but the car looks to be a Cadillac V-63 so it is not earlier than late 1923. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 Most car manufacturers used suppliers for all lamps, rims, wheels, gauges, windshield wiper motors and other "bolt on" items to complete their products. It would cost to much for space and machinery and labor to make each and every part. Particularly casting things in glass . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be. I'm going off an old memory of when I saw this and recall the caption said Studebaker but then again, I've slept since then. I just liked the photo.
