One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
I found one Model "A" but in general these are neat color slides of rural Depression-era America:

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
Thank You! for posting this remarkable collection. I was born in 1938 in a tenant farmer family into poverty...like most everyone else...but I cherish the memories of WW11 ...the news. the prayers, the death. I am reading this on Christmas morning...surrounded by too much. Thanks again...for these sobering sights.

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
Great stuff! It reminds of the little girl who was looking at an old family photo album and asked her grandma, "Didn't the world have any color when you were growing up?"
If you Google S. Montana at Bannock, Dillon, MT, you can see what the magnificent building shown in slide #57 looks like now.

There's no way that can be a period picture of a Model A. Everyone here knows that a Tudor sedan would not have had colored wheels in 1940

I saw an AA, a pickup, a tudor sedan with cream / yellow wheels and possibly another sedan. The 2 sedans were in one picture.

These pictures brought this era (my interest in which was one of the reasons I become a Model A-er at the tender age of 41 a year ago) closer to me in a way no other picture gallery or museum exhibit has in decades. |

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
most of us are going to say that families were stronger back then and also it does seem that society in general was more structured and orderly. I used to think that given poorer communications, disadvantaged folks had no way to compare their status to more fortunate people but now I'm not so sure of that. People did see newsreels back then and also, many popular movies of the '30s did revolve around depictions of wealthy society living in mansions with servants, Packards, evening gowns and tuxedoes, etc.

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
If the exact spot were found today of some of the photos, it would be kind of interesting to see the "before", as we see here, and the "after" of what we see today if any of the spots still exist which I think they do.
I remember looking over Shasta Dam once and got dizzy doing so! Thanks ericr for the wonderful photos. Pluck |

Great pictures, I know they were tough times but I wish I could go back. Life was much simpler back then.

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
Thanks for the great pictures! I was born just a couple of years later, but some things didn't change that much and it was like a trip down memory lane.

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
Referring to the first pic: I have an unused collection of aprons, like the lady's wearing, made by my Grannie on her old Singer Treadle. She bought remnants from the store to make them & the store also helped her market them.
Once on a visit, Grannie dug through a stack of them, pulled a wad of $$$$$$ out of an apron pocket,-----"Hey, hotshot, need sum money to git back home"? (Grannie wuz an ANGEL!) Bill W.

Thanks. Obviously different time, prior to pre-packaged and fast food, guess that's why you see no fat people in those photos

Re: One Model "A" in Fascinating Color Slides of America During the Depression
Boy, the good ole days huh ! Great pictures. I wonder how many could, or would, live like that today. How things have changed in a mere 70 years.
