John_Mereness Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Considering this dealership was open for probably 5-ish years, it is baffling that most of the photos of it are around time period of its grand opening.

The Goodyear whitewall has concentric rings or ridges on it about 1/2 inch wide on the face of the whitewall (or blackwall) - a period correct tire. There is also a period correct Firestone tire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md murray Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Wow, now that's an amazing group of photos of that Auburn! Boy, that right rear fender is just hammered. Interesting to see all those scrapes in paint around passenger side rear taillight visible in the tail-shot photo. I guess that gas filler is kind of in a funny spot and a real pain to gain access to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is no substitute for the original photos - the detail is usually phenomenal (hopefully this brings some attention to how significant they are and hopefully someone steps up to the plate). Sidenote: I think the wheels on the L-29 Phaeton were for sale on ebay within the past few years - hopefully that car survives.

Sidenote: I think the wheels on the L-29 Phaeton were for sale on ebay within the past few years - hopefully that car survives. The issue is that as a non identifiable car (i.e. an Auburn Speedster) it is very hard to get the kind of money she was looking for, even for 1940 era photos. I feel I made a pretty fair offer on the entire lot, but over paying resets the entire market for the next set which I will invariable be the only buyer for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Mereness Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Brian Charles I was hoping I could get some help identifying this car in the photos below. The photos are of New England landscape artist Robert Strong Woodward sometime in the 1920s. Brian Charles Curator for the Woodward Estate Replies: Studebaker Light 6 1921-23 Circa 1922 Studebaker EJ Light Six roadster. 1923 or 1924 Studebaker Model EM Light Six Three Passenger Roadster. There is no way to distinguish between those two years with the photos you have though. The reason it is not a 1922 (or earlier) is that the cowl lamps are set into the windshield frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Cord Crunch on long island pre WWII era. ( most likely took place in the Mineola-Garden City area) The L29 convertible sedan was a 360 degree roll over. note the neat gas pumps in the immediate background as well as the Auburn conv. sedan and the circa 1936 Ford(?) . this photo would have been taken when the Ford was nearly new. The 810-812 sedan was most likely brand new when this photo was taken and I am guessing the well dressed , but very distressed lady standing next to the 1930-31 Buick to the right either was driving the Cord or the Buick. Roads are wet so seems to have happened in poor weather. It was a pretty hard impact to bend the chassis on the Buick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCK81403 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Some of the auto accidents photos can be tough to view, however, the damage can be interesting to view. Perhaps police officers, highway patrol officers, accident investigators on this forum would find these accident photos interesting. No, it is not enjoyable to see this wrecked Cord L-29, but it is interesting to see the damage sustained by the vehicle, and guesstimate how the accident occurred. In the case of this Cord, the damage suggests a left-hand curve of the road, a fairly steep ditch, with the front end ramming an embankment, resulting in the car flipping over and rolling. The virtually bald looking right front tire may or may not have been a contributing factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
