Walt G Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) I didn't want to post this in my other thread on Photographs to help relieve some of the stress as seeing these may cause some "Aw Geez" reaction and a bit of stress. SO here are some accident photos taken by a photographer in Mineola, long island , NY named Drennan. All pre WWII in the late 1930s early 1940ish time span. they were all near the village of Mineola in the surrounding area and were for use in local newspapers. Many photos taken at night. 1) 1933 Chevy phaeton 2) 1931 Ford coupe 3) 1935 Plymouth when it was a year old ( has 1936 NY plate on it) road sign says Garden City on the vertical post and notes at the top Roslyn 4 ( miles) Hempstead 2 ( miles) Freeport 6 ( miles) and Ahead to Hicksville 6 miles. I used these decades ago in Special Interest Autos magazine. If not to distressful let me know and I will post a few more. Or post some of your own BUT please keep it pre WWII era.

wayne sheldon Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I would be happy to fix that Chevy, if I could keep it? The model A? Is probably pretty badly twisted. Interesting photos. They are another aspect of life back in the days. I enjoy seeing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'd take that Model A just for the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hook Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 That safety glass windshield on the A doesn't look like it faired to well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Must be an interesting story behind that Packard? And a hand crank in front? Frame and head lamp looks pretty messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Not even cold yet and someone's already stolen the hood ornament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hook Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I agree with you "Keiser31". Looks to me like a roll over, especially with that juice pattern on the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
