Period images to relieve some of the stress

Recommended Posts

This is the stuff that really floats my boat - a Fleetwood custom in front of the Packard Dealership in Havana, posted on a Cuban Facebook page, from an article in Carteles magazine which states the car was shown in and purchased from the 1920 New York Salon. Most of the Carteles issues are digitized in Havana, so knowing the Salon's dates should make it fairly easy to find the image.

Over at Coachbuild .com, here's one of two images of the Packard, this one on the Fleetwood Stand in the 1920 Salon. The Henry Ford has a copy of the 1920 program, and I'm hoping there will be an image of the Fleetwood there, too. I bet Walt G. has the program, too.

Can anybody identify the actress alighting from the 1916 Twin Six? Hint: the color of the car is “Milk White”.

We have a winner! Her habit of bathing in milk may have done wonders for her beauty, but she still died at 46.

Hard to tell my first guess was Edith Kelly Gould who was married to Jay Gould the Industrialist's son.

But Anna Held seems a better choice.This may contain: an old black and white photo of a woman wearing a hat

There are a number of interesting early photographs on Hagley's archive site. I've just scratched the service but here are a few.  The Pierce Arrow service truck might be the winner? 

 

The photos with the mud and ruts were around the time of the DuPont highway c. 1915

There has been a lot of tire experimentation of late with Goodyear trying tires made with soybeans and Michelin experimenting with airless tires. This photo just proves there's nothing new under the sun with automobiles. Maybe we should send a copy of this to Michelin. haha

Found this in my 1929 Cadillac files today:

When do you believe this picture was taken? Late 1930s or early post war?

I keep thinking where this car is today. Maybe fully restored? Or was it scrapped in the WW2 effort?

Who knows??

I love the crank set up. Looks permanent. I got a feeling this poor baby got totally used up and ended up as scrap metal.
