    Whoo-ee, that's a young Gable! I remember reading that, later, he bought a Darrin-ized Packard drop-top, and he eventually got rid of it because he said -- all too often -- women would jump in whenever he stopped the car. He was married to Carole Lombard at the time, so he probably figured she'd hear if those shenanigans kept up !!! LOL

    I'd surely LOVE to see a pic of Gable with the Packard Darrin, though!

    Yeah, she surely lends visual PERSPECTIVE to what would otherwise just look like a dry "product" photo. BUT, propaganda was a real WEAPON for WWI. Propaganda had gone to a whole new plane since the obvious and amateurish smears of the Spanish-American War, fer sur!

    More garage service rigs, this time in Springfield, Mass. Nice Caddy and Packard. The Packard photo is from Detroit Public Library, where they say it is a 1910 model 30, engine no. 20900. That number would make it a 1912, and to add to the confusion, the radiator cap is from a model 38 or 48. No doubt the guys at Oliver & Howland used what they had on hand.

    "Hey, do you reckon there is any future for that rig?" Probably not taken in Greenwich...

    Here's one for our friends in Canada - an early Russell, made in Toronto. They made cars from 1904 to 1916, when they sold out to Willys-Overland. This car was a 1907, and belonged to Mr. A. A. Bayliss.
