auburnseeker Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Here is a Jensen Brochure from 1951 I just listed tonight. I don't even remember getting it in, but I think I know what batch it came with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 In 1939,the King,George VI,and the queen paid their first visit to Canada and the USA. They traveled through Canada by train,and one of the four royal tour cars were always waiting for their arrival. The Lincoln was sent ahead to London, Ontario and Middlesex Motors,the local Ford Lincoln dealer,was given the job of cleaning and preparing it for the royals. My great uncle was the service manager there and later received these photos and card from the Canadian Lincoln service head for his services. The second photo shows the royal couple leaving the old Canadian National Railway station at London,Ont. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jukejunkie1015 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 On March 5, 1920, Dorothy (Mrs. Allen B.) Conrad and small son, Allen B., Jr., were prepared to take a spin in their new Stephens Six, purchased recently from the R.L. Stephens Motor Co. Mrs. Conrad, with fur stole, is seated behind the wheel of the roadster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then motor ambulances were scarce in the Nordic countries, especially in the country side. Therefore very handy if the Doctor had a private automobile of this kind with reclining passenger seat that could transport urgent cases to the nearby hospital. The Thulin A25 and it's sibling the German AGA were quite small cars for their day in a time when most buyers in Sweden opted for larger American cars. A car especially for the country Doctor was a selling point Edited May 28, 2020 by Casper Friederich (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows the royal couple and other members of their entourage disembarking from the royal yacht Britannia at Quebec City. I don't know who they are (perhaps some of our British members can help),but they were likely the occupants of the Dodge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks J.H. Boland I would think a McLaughlin-Buick 90 Limited would have been the limousine of choice for the Royal visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that most roads were dirt and speeds were not very fast, but really? Matt, there were just some things at certain periods of time that had no tires available for them or the people were not resourceful enough to figure out how to get them. It probably sat in some corner and was pushed out in the daylight or lights tuned on overhead on occasion for photo ops and story telling. My guess is pre-1955 there was a lot of hurt for certain sized tires (and a lot of great stuff was scrapped in WW-II for this reason matched to patriotism). A good example is Auburn and Cord - if you lived in a big city that had dealer support at one point, then you knew about access to the parts company and if you lived in the middle of nowhere then good luck to you.

And all of this started on the whim that I thought there may be some friends and other folks who would like to see some pre-WWII era period photographs from the piles I have sitting here at home, and that others may have some to contribute. This will never end (!) it seems. I know we blew the budget (sorry!) that our host AACA has with their company that acts as a server for the quantity of photos posted. All of us owe a great big thank you to AACA, the moderators, etc for giving us a place to view some 'Images of the era.' WG 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H.Boland Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) There was also a custom Chrysler built for the 1939 Royal tour. A commemorative licence plate topper was just one of many "swag" items sold for the occasion.
