Re: A Venice Police Model A Fills up with Purr-Pull Gasoline in 1930
That paint job must have been an Earl Schieb special. Or maybe Macco.

I don't see sirens on the car even though one motorcycle seems to have one. I am sure there was a whole small industry back then that supplied police-type accoutrements.

In the second picture the bumper looks straighter? Maybe a slope in the driveway at that point? I guess you'd have to measure the distance from the tire to the fender? To see if they are the same? |

Even to this day, not all fire departments provide both EMS first-response and EMS transport (ambulance). Many fire departments just provide EMS first-response. EMS transport or ambulance service is handled by a contract provider, which is often a private company; e.g., American Medical Response (AMR). Funeral services connected to furniture shops or manufacturers date back to the 1800s or earlier. They had the means to build wooden coffins as well as furniture. IOW, they could provide cradle to grave service. Ambulance services were sometimes connected to funeral homes. There wasn't a great deal of difference between a hearse and an ambulance in terms of carrying bodies. One carried them on a stretcher and the other carried them in a box. Many hospitals also operated ambulances and some still do, as do some rest homes for BLS (EMS-B, basic life support) or non-emergency transport. Regarding the Model A in the photos, I'd guess it's just a regular police car with a fresh coat of paint and not yet adorned with decals or other identification. The driver isn't in plain clothes, just dressed differently than the motorcycle officers. He's wearing a policeman's cap and badge. The paint job is definitely Earl Scheib ("paint any car any color for $19.95") or Maaco or Miracle style, but none of those companies were around in the early 1930s, so now we have proof that they didn't invent the lousy paint job. |

Re: A Venice Police Model A Fills up with Purr-Pull Gasoline in 1930
A coupe would seem an unlikely choice for a squad car. What would keep the suspects from jumping out of the rumble seat on the way to the station?
Also: A bow tie would seem appropriate if the uniform required neck wear. Imagine a four in hand in the wind. |

Re: A Venice Police Model A Fills up with Purr-Pull Gasoline in 1930
I suppose if the funeral home ambulance took its time they would have another customer. I remember an incident in the early 60s when a certain funeral home ambulance had to stop at a gas station and gas up while a gun shot victim was being transported. Needless to say, the gunshot victim didn't make it to the hospital before passing away , even though the local hospital was only a couple of miles up the road.

In those days suspects were transported in Paddy Wagons. Not in cars.

Re: A Venice Police Model A Fills up with Purr-Pull Gasoline in 1930
About 9 months ago I looked at a 29 Coupe here in Southern California. Body was painted White with black fenders. It had Arizona plates and the guy said he bought it from a sheriff in Arizona who was going to put sheriff's badges on the doors. He took it to Texas and stored for several years and brought it to California to sell.
I didn't buy it because it didn't have many original parts and also, I didn't want to hassle with DMV. |
