edinmass Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 4 hours ago, Walt G said: Hey Ed. here is one you can help identify. WHat I know: photo was taken in 1935, location is the south side of 7th Street in Garden City, NY out here on long island. Car is obviously a Pierce Arrow. What is the year and series/model, is the body custom built? Note how bald the spare tire is Photo was taken by the Drennan studio which was a commercial photographer located one town south of Garden City. Less then a 1/4 mile away to the right of this photo was located the Garden City Hotel ( original wood structure not the sad excuse for a replacement that is there now) where Charles Lindberg stayed the night before he made his famous flight to Paris from Roosevelt Field airport which would be a mile east of this location. The tail light on the P-A I always admired as a fine cluster of automotive art and equipment. I have one mounted on a display stand with a license plate on it in my living room with a period advertising plate mounted to it urging all to eat Bond bread. 🙃. Im going to go with Judkins,. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I believe we had more discussion about it in the Lincoln thread down in the CCCA forum. There were two built if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I scanned this one just for Walt. The lead car is pictured at least 2 other times in this thread. This is not prewar, but not too far past WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) The top of the line Peerless for 1929....an Eight-125 Seven-Passenger Sedan Photo from The Creative Workshop's restoration file for an identical one shown at The Elegance, Amelia Island and Boca Raton. On the third page, I think, of this thread I started a post about five period images from my family's photo collection. No Mustangs or tailfin wonders, just things like Velies, Coles and Stutzes. Turns out my granddad had three Stutzes. It has been erased. I spent two hours getting them scanned, but am needing to somehow convert them from pdf to jpg images. Pdf is impossible to use on the Forums. I cannot use the library resources to convert them because it's been closed. I'll get them here eventually!

Two were built. One survived and is now in Michigan when I saw it twenty years ago. Interesting door hinge and latch set up. Very beefy and very heavy. The wood was causing problems for the weight of the door. They should have made the vertical supports out of steel or bronze, not wood. Last I knew the car was partially disassembled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1932 Lincoln KB Doublentree Sport Cabriolet by Brunn had doors that opened from either end, as noted by others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 OK Al, is that lead car a Locomobile? trying to make it out, seems to have a cape top at the rear and perhaps a dual cowl/second windshield. Yes, I am fond of Locomobiles and their dual cowls because they were designed by J. Frank deCausse who I did a biography on about two decades ago. Hope to pen a story about the N.Y. City Locomobile dealership on the upper west side of Manhattan soon. The building still exists, and I own the hard cover showroom album with huge linen back photographs of all kinds of Locomobiles of the mid to late teens era. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt, It certainly has the appearance of a circa-1917 Locomobile Model 48 Type Sportif Victoria. I'm sure the owner of this one knows which car is in Al's photo.
