Those photos are part of that collection and were taken on September 5, 1932, which is sort of interesting in itself as those cars were only a few years old.

QGolden ................
I think that it is amazing that someone could come up with the history of these photos !
I think that the date is amazing too. Those cars still had value, being only a couple years old.
Thank you,
