'31 Cord.  The short text carries interesting information about the color scheme.

 

"Of singular distinctiveness is this new Cord, wherein LeGrande combines two shades of capucine for the fenders, moldings and lower body, all set off by flame striping."

Probably IS San Diego since it shows the Spirit of St. Louis.

I am flattered!

BTW The car to the right in my last photo, could it be a Studebaker as it has suicide front doors? Clearly the driver is showing off his fancy boots!

From AACA Forum Member Flaxen (the car is a Buick)

My wife is making a scrapbook of her ancestry. This photo was taken in NY I believe in the mid to late 30's. Her dad and mom are both in the photo.

1934=35 Model 98-C  - a 'convertible phaeton' in Buick speak. Easily distinguished from the smaller 68-C by the rear edge of the rear door being near vertical and not 'cut into' by the rear fender.

 

Edit - that is weird - ho did it get posted there?

Look at the difference in traffic in the two videos from 1903 to 1910 in London England. A way of life must have changed drastically as the automobile was replacing the horse in that short period of time.
