A Bit of Auto History
The April 15th blog entry asked for old auto- related photos. B MacKenzie responded with the two above. The top photo is of his grandfather, John M. Brooks in a Model T Ford. The second is of the Wabash Valley Motor Co.; A. Clyde Stoltz was his great uncle but is NOT the gentleman pictured.Thanks for this great photos.
We found a few more in our photograph collection.
We're still looking for more. So if you have any, scan them and send them to lawrencelore@gmail.com.
