Re: '49-'50 Eight - Kodachrome period photo

I'm hoping there is still interest in these old pictures so I'll keep going. And apologies to you Steve, it was your thread that I hijacked. Many of these are from local shows in the 60s and 70s. Most photos self-explanatory but I'll comment on a few.
5. Anyone know what other make mascot was sacrificed to make this one?
8 & 9 (Renault and Duesenberg) were from the collection of Dr. Fisher, a local dentist. Unlike today, that Duesenberg and the next one were really driven, and regularly. Among his other cars was a mid-teens Hudson roadster and a pre-1900 DeDion-Bouton which he occasionally drove in local parades, quite the sight with the passengers in the front seat facing the driver in the rear seat.
10. This photo at the VMCCA National Meet at Lyndhurst NY in 1974. About midmorning this Duesy LeBaron shows up, owner drove about 200 miles from the Boston area, stayed a few hours, and then drove back home. Would never happen today!
11. Bill Hirsch's 745. This restoration was done in the 60s (time of the photo) and the restoration has held up remarkably.
12-13. George Jepson's pair of 734 Speedsters - West will certainly recognize this pair.
15. One-off Cadillac by Fleetwood, reputedly for the NYC Auto Show, owned at the time by Dr. Ronald Andrade. No idea what ever happened to it.
17. Like your Pierces BIG? When I located a trunk for my '34, it was delivered in this Pierce.
18. The 4-cyl Cadillac belonged to Charlie Vanderbush, at the time owner of Paterson (NJ) Auto Parts.
19. Steve Wolf's LeBaron Sport Brougham. Wonder where it is now? It had functioning A/C.
20. Part of the huge Max Roselle collection, probably the largest collector of the 55/56 cars beginning when they were almost new cars. The first Carib from the right is the one I now own, in it's second paint job - the Dover White overpainted in Holland Blue and the Danube Blue in Dover White.
21. Dick Greene was and still renown for his Cord L-29 knowledge, he still has this car, it was again shown at Macungie PA 2 or 3 years ago, still looking great.
I'll be glad to keep going as long as there is interest. More from shows of the 70s-80s and quite a few from the 1999 Centennial. Let me know....
