Many high end cars. Mostly Packard's, think I see a Duesenberg in the beginning? Very few white wall tires.

Love these films.
This type of car shows up in these street scenes quite often but it is unknown to me. I believe it is a taxi. Anyone know its make?
Thanks.

Thanks for posting this typical afternoon from before War II took the world's remaining innocence. As many senior Packards as 120s, both seemingly on every block, and more Buicks than '37 Chevies. Only on the upper East Side.

The beautiful gray African gneiss and schist in the walls, bridges of Central Park, Yonkers, Westchester reminds you we were once the same continent. Now the Atlantic is shrinking.

National Geographic reports NYC has the worst rat infestation of any city on earth. Caramba.
