No P in Pneumatic... much better without the silent letter. Thanks for taking a second to post a higher quality view. Really shows how unique it was. The bubble effect in the F was a touch you don't often see. Edited April 12 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Oh yeah. Like the Davis for sale (way too high price!) in the "Not Mine For Sale" section? This car just oozes the roaring '20s! Anyone know what the car is? Although, I am pretty sure I have seen this photo before, I cannot remember if the car was identified or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sales catalog for both Leach and Don Lee here someplace. Yes, I know to much obscure stuff here. Mundane, normal, what's dat?? Just ADDED the Don Lee coach builder material on April 15th, 2024. There is more to it but here is a sample. Would make a story for the AACA magazine but the word from the Editor is they do not have the space.

Walt G Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 (edited) Great photo , a high wheeler with solid tires and a SIDE MOUNTED spare. Hey a candidate for CCCA! All that it lacks is a Pilot ray light and a Lalique glass mascot. But for CCCA the car would have to have the wood spokes chromed and white walls on both sides of the solid tire - could be a problem.

Walt G Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Does anyone know the location the photo was taken? I can't read the license plate to identify the state. Does the building still exist? I agree with kar3515 that the brickwork is incredible ( my family were masons for generations) That is one of the added "neat stuff " factors about period photographs the architecture, construction, lettering on windows, vehicles and buildings etc. The whole spectrum of the era. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 (edited) Notice how clean the place is! All workers wearing hats, There are a few things in the floor on the left side . Large windows all around to let Natural light in The Franklin factory in north Syracuse NY was the same, had huge skylights at the center of the roof in the north part of the building that ran east/west. ( Front of building faced East). and center of building was open to let the light from the skylights shine down. At the Franklin factory all the stair cases were tiled , even the floors to make a daily sweep/clean up go faster. Yes, I was at that factory several times.

It was a universal thing at the time and still is for folks that don't like chaos and confusion.

nzcarnerd Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Metropole Hotel, Rue Lavaud, Akaroa, New Zealand, 1914. It burnt down in 1962. Just visible on the left of the photo is the roof of the courthouse. The site is now the carpark of the local supermarket. I see a Siddeley-Deasy car on the left, and a couple of 1913-14 Cadillac seven passenger tourers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
