Walt G Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Photo is dated Wednesday August 9, 1922. This is the Rev. Bramford Clarke in his motorized church . It does not note the location but in the back ground it seems to be in a city , note the water tower . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I wonder what caused the dented patch on the outside and long patches of dents from the inside across the front, on the door and behind it. A thin tin siding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Not sure about the dents - it is not in the paper that the print was made on that is smooth so is definitely in the body of the "building". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Simple, dents made by the devil trying to get in....also, the reverend looks like a cross man... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 David, the Reverend was a cross man - he probably was looking for a P-A travelodge trailer to use as a portable church/chapel and a long wheel base P-A limousine to use as a confessional , rectory etc. but was told by his parish that was totally unacceptable as the P-A had an undraped fellow as a car mascot and that symbol would be just to overwhelming for the ladies of his flock of any age, and could possibly promote impure thoughts . I know this for a fact because two fellows who regularly give wise words of wisdom here ( one from Ca. the other from Fla. - New England ) told me that they both have P-A factory records stating that that was the situation . 🤨 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Interesting in that period of circumspect proper decorum in personal matters such "undraped" individuals were found on more than one radiator cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those attending services throwing coins into the collection plate and missing badly. The coin would ricochet off one of the walls and be caught by the fellow in the photograph. And that is the truth . Yes indeed it is, maybe , sort of....................🧐 Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
