30DodgePanel Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 A Stevens Duryea seen in Flagstaff AZ Harold and Stanley Sykes in Percival Lowell's 1911 Stevens-Duryea Automobile "The big red car could accommodate seven passengers, it was frequently used by Lowell to take trips around northern Arizona. In 1938, it was given away to some friends of Lowell's widow who lived in Santa Barbara. In 1989 the car showed up in Flagstaff, restored to its original condition, and it now resides on Mars Hill." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Regarding the wonderful photos with Gov. Hunt. That Lincoln sedan with the huge fender mounted trunk - these trunks were not unusual to see then but you never see one on a restored car now. There were accessory catalogs issued by companies that made trunks that showed these in assorted sizes - luggage was available that fit inside ( just like the trunks mounted at the rear of the cars on a rack) . Travel when these cars were new could take days and one had to stay over in assorted hotels or "tourist lodges" . Imagine the effort that the chauffeur/driver had to make to work around that trunk to service or check the engine. The car the Gov. Hunt is helping push is a Franklin of the 1911-13 era, most likely the larger model D or H series . note the tube front axle - an easy way to identify a Franklin up through the early 1930s. GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J.: It's a 1952 Cadillac Series 62 coupe or Coupe de Ville-based customized hardtop possibly by Coachcraft or another West Coast coachbuilder. In the heady postwar period of rising prosperity when Cadillac was the premiere choice in status symbol luxury many had their production Fisher and Fleetwood-bodied Cadillacs customized to configuration which would stand out from the ordinary. There was something of a cottage industry catering to the varying tastes of these clients. Station Wagons, 2-passenger coupes and roadsters were all ginned up in that era. Most disappeared in the used car market afterwards. I checked the New Cadillac Database to see if this one appears but must have been missed. I'd opine that Palm Springs was the location of this photograph since it was the glamorous hide-away for celebrities and other luminaries.
