It occurred to me - as I looked at them - that my father would have known how to repair them!
In fact, he probably learned his skills as a mechanic fixing cars like these!
They are all Fords - my father's favorite make of car...
It also occurred to me - as I looked at the leather "trunk" attached to the back bumper, that this is why we call the back storage area a trunk!
(In England, on the other hand, a car "trunk" is called a "boot" - and the "hood," up front, is called a "bonnet"!)
I remember reading that early cars frightened horses on the road, so a law was suggested - that flagmen be required to walk in front of motorized vehicles!
When were stickers invented?! I know they were around in the 1960's? But in the 1920's? I'm not sure that they had stickers back then. Though many no doubt wanted to "repeal prohibition"!
