Out for a Drive
Submitted by woodwardave on Sat, 09/20/2008 - 11:38pm.
From a turn-of-the-century family photo album. Probably taken in Michigan. Can someone identify the automobile?

Hi-res version?

Dave, if you could post a higher-resolution version of the photo, I could try to identify the car. The shape of the grille shell looks slightly familiar, but a higher-res image would help.

Sunday Excursion
Submitted by Anonymous Tipster on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 1:27pm.
I love these old family cars. Back from the times when a Sunday Drive was a leisurely thing. Our father was into Sunday Drives. Sometimes a drive to Sacramento, sometimes to Santa Cruz. Sometimes to the Santa Clara Valley to see all the acres of fruit trees in bloom. (This was in the 1940s before it became Silicon Valley.) Notice the two spare tires. Even in the 1940s a flat tire was a worry on these drives.
