SIRAACA_Editor Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Hi all - continuing to scour the NYC tax photo archive from circa 1940. Here are three shots of a variety of cars parked outside the Tompkins Park Restaurant, which was at 222 Bay Street in Staten Island. We have a Packard with mismatched tires, a big Cadillac and a few others for you to identify. Have fun - Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, they're record photos for real estate tax valuation purposes. These could be a treasure trove of old car photos. They might also be good data source for old highway sign collectors.
