The new 1922 Ogren kind of resembled a Kissel and/or a Daniels.  The Ogren Motor Car Company was located at 602-698 National Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

[LCK81403]

1924 Heine-Velox Special, one of the first cars to use hydraulic brakes.

[LCK81403]

Front wheel drive was not a common feature in cars, but the Gardner had it in 1930.

In 1923 The Tarkington Motor Car Company, Rockford, Illinois advertised their product.  The advertising speaks about a "car" but the only photo shows a rolling chassis.  Although the ad does not explain, perhaps the customer would order a custom built body.

Someone reminded me just now that today marks two months since I stated this thread about period Images. WOW time goes by fast, especailly when you are having fun. THANK YOU  to all of you who have contributed images to this thread , most of you staying within the topic too! The comments are so enlightening as to the information and observations as well - a history lesson for us all. To me this proves the on going interest in pre war vehicles, plus how much all of us come together to support each other during these stressful times. I had no idea that when I stated it , so many of you could find it something to make you feel good - Keep it up my friends.

Special thanks to John, Al, Bob, Ed who have spent so many hours devoted to sharing the images. I have not really contributed that many images myself. You guys are the best - that goes for all of you who are viewing this. Stay well my friends we are a community, a true family of old car people that seem to have found a new path to bond together. AACA, you are the best for being so gracious to give us a place to look at these 'images of the era'
