A Venice Police Model A Fills up with Purr-Pull Gasoline in 1930
The Venice, California Police Fill up with Purr-Pull Gasoline: Purr-Pull gasoline looked just like it sounds – it was purple – Part of it’s name came from the fuel’s good pulling power. See five more great photos and learn more on theoldmotor. com Last edited by t-head; 12-09-2014 at 06:45 AM. |

Re: A Venice Police Model A Fills up with Purr-Pull Gasoline in 1930
I wonder why that bumper is crooked? The one on my pickup sits at the same angle, and I haven't figured out why. My frame is straight, and the brackets aren't bent. Maybe the holes in the frame horns? But my truck is 84 years old, and the one (a coupe, I think) in the photo was nearly new. Curious. One of these days I'll have remove the splash apron on mine and do some serious investigation, I guess.

Notice how they sprayed the entire car white including the roof insert. Looks like they forgot to mask one end of the headlight bar. I was also wondering about the front bumper on a car that new.

Looks like the two motorcycles are using what appears like Goodyear tires...

Strange looking cowl lamps. When did cops stop wearing bowties?

Being all white & not showing siren, plus nothing on doors saying Police or City, I wonder if this could be a Medics car ?/

The two policemen were in pose mode for the picture as both kick stands were down. Not a just happened to snap an unplanned photograph. Still physically fit enough to do up all the buttons on the tunic also.

None of the vehicles have police markings and they are all white. A motor cop in uniform was probably enough of a marking. The Model A has an exempt plate, with what appears to be red cowl lights (motorcycles with lights left of the head light). Without a uniform the cop in the A might be a detective.

Not really any worse than the smokey bear hats that most now have to wear

Purdy, I like those. But a bow tie? Nope.
