Any of the Mass guys know if this one got saved? I'm guessing probably not, it certainly looks as if they worked it pretty hard. I would give that truck a good home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A '36 Packard Eight town car by perhaps Kellner, a Packard 120 pillarless touring coupe with sunroof and elegant sweep panel. Anyone recognize the coachbuilder? Democratic with the DeSotos back-to-back with Rolls_Royces. The Airflow that grabs attention is the trunkless giant with the four-tier rear bumper: an early Custom Imperial CW. The bumper was a 1934 only item, suppose the expensive CW was a tad hard to sell at the time. MG fellows, tell us what those are beyond the Packards, are they TA models?

DrData Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have really enjoyed this thread, guys. There are some really amazing photos. Here is one from my family archive. as kids, we referred to it as the "flyingcar" This is an early 1930s Pierce Arrow which belonged to my great grandmother (her husband and father-in-law were both successful saloon owners in downtown Pittsburgh, PA) and is being loaded aboard a transatlantic liner for a trip to Europe. Not only did my GGM take her car for touring, she also took her chauffeur with her to Europe since she did not drive. They sailed, probably from New Yrk, to Bremen and then toured through Germany and Austria. Then everything got shipped back to Pittsburgh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) John Adams Davis was one of the major commercial photographers of automobiles in Manhattan. His rival was Nathan Lazernick , but Lazernick was mostly finished with his work by the mid to late 1920s and was on the scene before Davis was . You see a lot of photographs of brass era motor cars with Lazernick's stamp on the back of them. Most all of both men's work was done with glass plate negatives. Davis had a favorite spot in Central Park with a large hill often seen behind the cars . It was located on an east/west roadway in the park, and the location was used often on JAD's work in the 1927-32 era. Location was well north of Central Park South and Columbus Circle area. Neither men took a lot of photographs indoors at auto shows or salons. Edited March 20, 2020 by Walt G added information to clarify (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, The photo was taken on State Street in Ludlow Mass, my hometown of fifty years. I can tell you if the Packard exists, I have never seen it. I have heard a rumor of a similar vehicle in New England, but can not prove it’s veracity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
