Bob This Murphy Beverly has been Gold for years and years - it had whitewalls on it though until maybe 7 or so years ago. The Blackwalls changed the car's looks in both photos and in person (though I am far from an advocate of blackwall tires - the blackwalls here have to do with being mounted on chrome wire wheels and the particular color of the car). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Walt G 3,010 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 And one or two more , the sun is out here on long island , so all is good. the car in the fog is a Derham bodied 1931 Franklin that was at the Chicago and NY salons in late 1930, location is Montauk Point at the very eastern tip of long island, ca. 1981 when AACA sponsored a Glidden Tour and that was primarily organized and run by Margaret and George Vitale that I helped out on a little. The period b & w photo is of an Auburn at Roosevelt Field airport , in Garden City, NY on long island . Enjoy everyone. I guess by now you realize I have to much old stuff. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Sidenote: Click on the photo and you should get an enlargement, then look real close at the top row of Hood Louvers - it spells out Auburn in the stainless trim (plus it has Auburn spelled out in paint over the ornament on the rear quarter panel and also over the Super-Charged emblem on hood - a well labeled car ).

Walt G 3,010 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Bob, that is a really cool license plate topper of Republic airport! Never saw one before. They had those for Roosevelt Field too. John, the Auburn photo was printed off an original negative that I was able to borrow 35-40 years ago. Photo was taken by a man named Drennan who was in the Hempstead/Mineola N.Y. area which was right next to the Roosevelt Field airport. Had to give the negative back and then the fellow that had it passed away so I guess it was tossed out as trash. Yes, the name Auburn is noted all over the car as you observed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thank heavens you told us! I had no idea what those were; thank you for posting. For a second I thought you may be helping us to solve the mystery of the Minerva-looking car that Ed posted last week. That Diana car almost has the same sort of radiator and seam running along the length of hood top. Anyone venture a guess on that one yet? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure of location, but the license plates show 1949 so that was when the car show took place. At that time, the Packard was only about 35 years old. It's like us going to a show today and looking at a 1985 model. Amazing how perspectives have changed. Is it because technology changed so radically then and not so much today? Even in 1949, that Packard was vastly different than a new 1949 car. Today a 1985 car is more or less the same as a new car. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
