Great Period Street Scene Filled with Cars and Interesting Sights
It’s Almost Time for Lunch – Granville Street, Vancouver, B.C., 1934: A damp and dreary November 5th did not seem to deter these Vancouverites from running their morning errands. Our source says we’re looking north along the west side of Granville toward the Canadian National Railroad freight office. See three enlargements of this photo and many more on The Old Motor. |

Re: Great Period Street Scene Filled with Cars and Interesting Sights
I'm amazed by how close those cars are parked together. They didn't have power steering. Must have just pushed the other cars to make space to get out.

I'm thinking that giant cabriolet in foreground is a Stutz.

What? No ball caps?
If each of these cars had memory devices, what stories could they tell. Perhaps it is a good thing that only a small percentage survived the century, as much as many of us would like to have in our possession certain ones pictured in this street scene of a bygone era. |

The late 1920's convertible coupe at the very bottom center of the photo is an Auburn as you can see here. You can learn all about them, see more photos and a video here on The Old Motor. |

Talk about BALLON tires, just look at the small wire spoked wheels compared to the fat tires and large car above.

Re: Great Period Street Scene Filled with Cars and Interesting Sights
No PS and tight spaces, how many women would like to park those heavyweights back in the day?

Another pair of photos to add to the ballon tire discussion above. 100's more neat old photos of women and old cars here. |
