The Pacific Railway & Steamship Clearing Agency Tire Sale: The Great Depression had a devastating effect on the economy across the land, and was at its darkest point when this set of photos was taken during 1933. View an interesting set of four photos with three attractive models taken to help liquidate unclaimed tires on The Old Motor.

Guy Bryan (likely the man in the pix) seems well fed and he has a mighty fine set of wheels there.

Don't think the Great Depression held him back much.

Or Joe Kennedy who found riches in the escape of people via motion pictures or scotch.

Dad remembered Grandpa used to have a man come to the house with a baby carriage - filled with booze for sale. "Putting the baby to bed" assumed a new and unique after dinner meaning in their household.

But Grandpa was a noteworthy lawyer in Southeastern Massachusetts.

Interesting pix. Do you suppose they had machines that wound the paper around the tires or was it done "manually."

Did you notice that the model, sitting, on the fender, had to sit on a towel.

I love woman being around my "A" but, I think I would be pretty upset if one of them stood on my fender with heals.

You can have those tarts, I'll take that Lincoln.

CarlG · 03-24-2014, 05:04 PM

Those gals are a little over 100 years old now, the Lincoln is less than 85!

Gold Digger · 03-24-2014, 09:16 PM

They sure didn't have very big tities back in those days.

A: Crude and tasteless

Sitting on the fender!!!!

Hi T,

Would be interesting to see the expression on the guy's face in the building .... one can see him through the car's passenger side door window.

No doubt he was not at all interested in the Lincoln or the stacked tires.

The guy with the pocket watch does not appear to be pointing at the wrapped tires either.
