Re: Picture perfect
"It lasted nearly 4 years" The stock market crash was 1929 and we really didn't recover until WWII, so really ten years.

Re: Picture perfect
August 1929- March 1933 are the dates of record for the depression and followed by a recession.

Re: Picture perfect
It’s easy to think back to the "good ol’ days", but times were really tough for a lot of people for a decade or so. My dad once said, "Many Americans are nostalgic for a time that never was." I often remind myself of that when I think I’m living in the wrong era.

Re: Picture perfect
My grandfather was 50 years old when the stock market crashed. Lost the farm, never recovered. I remember going to visit him in the 60's, the shack that he lived in and the pain on his face when my father insisted on giving him money. I just recently came to understand how dire those times were.

Re: Picture perfect
That 28/29 sport coupe indeed had a hard life as I suppose it was around 10 years old .

Re: Picture perfect
My Grandfather on my dad's side lost his bank. He sold everything to return deposits to his customers. The kids supported him after that. The family moved from New Jersey to California during the depression. From riches to rags.

Re: Picture perfect
Great photo.
2 HP on the left and 40 HP on the right. I cant imagine what it was like to be brought up using the horse and buggy and then to be catapulted into the mechanical world. It had to be frightening and exciting at the same time. |

Re: Picture perfect
Great photo, really sends a message of can-do. Looks like that sport coupe is a real hodge-podge: appears to be 21" on the front and 19" on the rear, plus it looks like the right headlight bucket is black (commercial) rather than nickel.

Re: Picture perfect
What a lot of people don't realize is that the depression was world wide, not just the USA.

Re: Picture perfect
Gramps still had a wagon and harnesses and rigging hanging in the barn into the 1960's. When we asked why the answer was that he almost threw it out until the Depression and World War II made him stop: "you just never know..."
