Apparently, a Wagonhals was a very simple vehicle to drive and operate, and could see the USPS using them for rookie drivers who would not need a lot of training. Craig 3 1

Walt G Posted November 7 Author Posted November 7 1 hour ago, 30DodgePanel said: @Walt G note Long Island. Long Island City is a highly industrial area along the East River in New York City borough of Queens County. The 59th street bridge at its east end connects there. ( it was the location of the Brewster & Co. factory building. ) I have heard of the GV company and their vehicles before , can not put my finger on the information now but believe I read about it in the Horseless Age magazine. If I come across anything I will mention it here. As always now,🙄 it seems I am involved in research and stories for print publication mostly 24/7 - so this is retirement.!!! But I am grateful for the material I was able to acquire over the past 40+ years and the friends I had who looked out for me and found things that they knew i would "need" down the road ( ie now) and told me to buy and ad to my collection of vehicle information of the pre WWII era from both sides of the pond. I plan to share much of this in the AACA Speedster newsletter. Walt 3

Moskovics, one of the 'movers and shakers' of the early decades of automotive development and eventually to be tapped by Charles M. Schwab after he bought control of Stutz, Moskovics being the driving force behind the marque's revival and development of the OHC Vertical Eight. Read the gentleman's autobiography sometime, he had a substantial career influencing multiple aspects of automotive history. Edited November 7 by 58L-Y8 syntax corrected (see edit history) 1

30DodgePanel Posted November 8 Posted November 8 (edited) I remember someone trying to I.D. a brass radiator within the past year, I wonder if this might have been a match but cannot recall where the thread is and cannot find it in a search.

nzcarnerd Posted November 8 Posted November 8 More from Whangarei back in the day. Until the mid 1930s American cars dominated the NZ market but by the late thirties there were more small English cars on the road. Most of the cars from 'The Big Three' were locally assembled but the others all arrived fully assembled. Commercials, light and heavy, had bodies built locally. Post WW2 tarriffs and currency restrictions the American car market share dropped to a fraction of its pre-war dominance. 4

If anyone recalls, please compare the two. The car here is from either 1909 or 1910. About that time the JI Case company bought into Pierce-Racine and the cars became Cases from 1911. The 1910, 1911 and 1912 NY plates are only distinguishable by colour - Vehicle registration plates of New York - Wikipedia 1
nzcarnerd Posted November 9 Posted November 9 Another photo from back in the day, a nice clear one. The photo date is not later than 1925. Orari station is about 90 miles south of Christchurch, on the main north/south railway line that ran along the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. The Ford bus took passengers to Gerladine, small town about five miles inland. Passenger trains have not run on that line for more than 20 years. 5
