K8096 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) I believe the Packard is a 1932 904 limousine or 7 passenger sedan. That’s the big 8 cylinder for that year. Edited September 16, 2023 by K8096 (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is the fender construction that has raised my curiosity. They almost look like the type of very early fender that is leather over a wire metal frame. But I don't think these are quite like that either. I am not really sure what sort of construction we are seeing here. Anyone out there have a suggestion ?

Rod P Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Could they be metal, and the 'ribbing' and edging lip is for strengthening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows, better than almost any I have seen, the importance and prestige and pleasure associated with the automobile during the Great Depression. Here is a shiny, upscale model car, proudly shown in front of a home that desperately needs a coat of paint and might need some roof work. Behind the home is a dry prairie background, with an old tractor that doesn’t appear to be getting much use. I’m probably reading too much into the picture, but I am just in the process of reading David M Kennedy’s book “Freedom from Fear, a History of the American People during the Depression and WW II”. I’m humbled, learning what our parents, grand parents, etc. had to go through to survive and thrive in those times. Perhaps that’s why - although I love to see the top of the line classics that were so avidly collected in the 1950s and 1960s - I find it more thrilling to see examples of the cars that most people, including my dad and granddad drove during the Great Depression. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Perth, Western Australia, 1952, a new car wash being delivered. The crane truck is probably only not much more than 30 years old. Maybe a Federal or?? The flatbed truck is a British-built Bedford, and likely has an Australian-built cab. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
