wayne sheldon Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Wasn't the dog's name "Petey"? The man standing there is one Mr Howard, I am not sure whether it is Moe or Shemp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Yes, the dogs name was Pete or Petey - look at the photo near this one with the rear of the car and the image on the tire cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) OK a few more period photographs - found these in a stack of photographs that I never placed in my new library/study area but was going to - 10 years ago! the stack is about 18 inches high- nice to see some of the photos I haven't seen in a while, and No I won't post all of them here as to do so would give our great moderators and our equally great AACA CEO a panic attack. I am sure there is a photo/image allowance for the service that AACA uses to host the Forums and no doubt this thread has totally blown that away some weeks, perhaps months ago 😯 and a lot of the dues we annually pay have disappeared to let you see this! Anyway what you see here: A White tour bus loaded with quite a few kids aboard , can anyone imagine how heavy that spare tire and rim is? Ford V8 beer truck from 1932-33?? River crossing on a barge , I do not know the location , and no it does not remind me of the Blue Hershey flea market field from some years ago. ( Blue filed is where the roller coasters are now).

LCK81403 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The photo of the Saxon-Duplex with the one horsepower spare engine in the body got me to looking in my Saxon file.

LCK81403 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The Automatic Electric delivery vehicle is interesting and is the first I have seen. A photo of a 1921 Automatic Electric clearly shows how small the vehicle was; smaller than a modern golf cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Help with this photo will be appreciated. Somehow I have "Picard" attached to this photo, maybe identifying the car as such. I have searched the WWW but can not find a Picard brand name auto. Is the auto in the photo a U.S. or European vehicle? There was a "Pickard" automobile but it went defunct in 1912.

Walt G Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 One more thing that is interesting about the photograph of the Panhard-Levassor was the current fashion statement in the late 1920's to use snakeskin upholstery. In N.Y. City and for the USA distributorship it was Alpina water snake that was used for the "hides" to upholster the seats and door panels. This was advertised in the custom body salon souvenir catalogs in the USA and written up in articles at the time . Perhaps the lady's coat was made of the same material. The fad did not last long, perhaps one season then slithered away due to lack of interest. More obscure automotive information to start your day off! only found here on the AACA Forums . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCK81403 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Casper and Walt, thank you for the information about the Panhard-Levassor. I see this thread as being about learning as well as nice photos. I had not known about snake skin upholstery in cars and possibly women's coats. It is interesting that snake skin was considered a luxury item. During the American Civil War the Confederate military had a shortage of leather (cattle) and they resorted manufacturing saddles and boots from alligator. Imagine that, today's luxury alligator products were then used for boots and saddles. Having lived in Arizona and now in southwestern Colorado, snakes (poisonous) are not viewed as luxury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Here you go folks ( read the following with the voice of actor Joe Pesci in mind) " OK OK OK, so who thought you would go to the AACA to learn about Snakeskin??? " and 90+ year old snakeskin at that ! this advertisement is from the 1928 Custom Automobile Salon program held in San Francisco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Friederich Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Speaking of Snake skin upholstery, the dual cowl Hispano-Suiza phaeton at the 1927 Paris Motor Show imediately comes to my mind. It was built for prince Mousouros? by Bourack & de Costier and was one of the most expensive cars at that year's show.
