26 Auburn


One of the fairly regular features Theater mag had that I like was a two page spread of famous people and thier cars along with a picture of course. I don't always know who the famous people are but I almost always like the pictures of which this is an example.

1922 Ford




Not a snapshot or even an ad but I found it interesting so hoped someone else might also. This is from a Ford Manual I bought recently, copyright 1922. Not long ago I had a picture showing the handcrank and Mike I think mentioned how people could injure themselves working it. The narrative part here explains the starting of the car and how easy it should become although they do warn about possible kickbacks. The other is a diagram of the steering wheel for that year.

51 Plymouth


Not so vintage as most of the pictures I have posted but a nice picture of a neat car. It's the front of a postcard I think sent out by the dealers as an advertisement, maybe furnished by the dealers to thier customers. At least it's one I can identify.
Got some good pictures in the mail today, some of cars. Nice lady I buy from on Ebay sent a couple of extra which I always appreciate. She checks in here now and then so I'll use this space for a big Thank You. Ebay is a good place to look for vintage photo's so long as you have some idea of what your doing, looking for and how much your willing to spend. Like anything else you need to be careful, a few sellers misrepresenting what they have or other tricky things but you can't go wrong with this seller.

Chicago Auto


I have lots of cars, another one here. This one I can identify, a "Chicago" or so says the front of it. I think its a 1926, the only year that came with the kids on the fender option.

Romantic Couple




Two photo's today that I have had for awhile. They came from the same album and I'm pretty sure are the same people. I think both are fantastic, particularly like the one where they are standing, posed of course but they look so romantic, could be used for an ad or something. The other I like pretty much also, again a nice shot of a vintage car pretty sure it's a Ford, back when they came in any color you wanted as long as that color was black.
I always wonder what happened to the people in these pictures, how thier lives went and such. My feeling about these two is it went pretty well for them.
