Walt G Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Dave Great photos. The address notes that the Willys-Overland Branch ( new car sales) in NYC was at 50th and Broadway, that area was Automobile Row for Manhattan and extended north to 59th Street and Central Park South area. These photos may have been taken in the Bronx. I love the lone mansion located between the apartment houses in the top photo, I am sure there were mansions /larger residences on wither side of that where the apartment houses are in the photo before the property became to valuable to just be occupied by a single house. The original wood houses were demolished to make way for the apartments - Progress 1920s style..... WG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Interesting Willys-Overland used car lot, plenty of Whippets "BARGAIN"'s on the front line. Of most interest is that Willy-Knight 66-66A town car off up on the rise. Here are just the cars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 For some years I did not have jack stands and used 6 x 6 x 12 wood blocks laid vertically . Never ever used concrete blocks! my family were generations of masons and my Dad warned me ( with some vigor and a glare) that concrete blocks under a car to set it on was a way to get killed when the blocks would fracture, crack and crumble. In high school I lost a favorite shop teacher that way who was working under his car one weekend and the concrete blocks supporting the car crumbles with him under it. The jack stands I did eventually buy were commercial grade units that Austin Clark bought new in the early 1950s to use out at his auto museum to support his vehicles when they were being worked on in that facilities shop area. He had 2 ton Autocars, fire engines etc up on them so I figured that they were worthy of further use after resting dormant for a decade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
