edinmass Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 This car has survived......and I tried to purchase it twenty years ago.........no luck. It’s now down a deep, dark hole form which it will never emerge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ed, That Cunningham could be featured in another thread "GOOD LOOKING CARS FROM THE 1920's" if you care to start it. Sorry it is now lost. Great stack of photos you have been posting, sure would be nice to ID the cars and buildings in the back ground. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prewar40 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I wonder what the repair bill was for this 1923 Gardner sedan. It appears they painted the lower body a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the normal dirt and grime from the rail yards........ Exactly! That was my point...all elements of open rail freight. And just because the leather upholstery had been alive at some point in time doesn't make it impervious to damage. Sewn with waterproof thread? And how about the primitive electronics? All of it waterproof? Those brand new cars weren't brand new anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Cole Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Buttermilk Junction Gas Station, Martin County, IN, 7 Apr 1937. If this gas station still existed would it be restored to look like this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Am I mistaken or did the last several posts just go completely off topic? would these be better in the Memorabilia a Guide to View? There are already spark plugs posted there and the radios ? The one radio that was indeed in the back of the Cunningham sedan should stay with the photo of the car but the others ????? Anyone else feel the way I do? Title of this thread since it was started in March is Period photographs".............................. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The great thing here is there is almost never any bad intent........when I posted off topic, I didn't realize what thread I was posting in, somehow the main screen was in another format, which I only figured out after Walt's comments. It was set up with all the junk on the right, and comments on the left. Another instance of upgrades to the site that I never knew were done....until I accidently hit the different format button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 OK my friends all is good! Today I am sharing a few obscurities and will give you a day to decide what they are - one hint - they are all European. Give us your thoughts . I know a few of you are most likely thinking - where does he find this stuff? I have been collecting over half a century, had friends who were knowledgeable looking for me in Europe as well as the USA for decades. In England when I visited there I had access to collections that made me aware that some cars and coach builders even existed. I REALLY ENJOY sharing what I have managed to acquire , thanks to AACA I can. Walt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The last of the three is a 1937-'39 Opel Admiral four door cabriolet, this body style a factory standard offering, although its styling suggest a coachbuilder designer input. The reason these stick in mind is the similarity to the 1938-'39 Hupmobile E & H series with the headlights integrated into the hood-sides. Wonder who copied who? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
