Ellis Valentine Fast (right), his wife Mable (center) and a friend (left) drove from Ft Wayne Indiana arriving in Portland March 16 1930 in this Essex coupe to look for work. In this photograph, they have stopped in front of the Portland Motor Company Hudson and Essex dealership that was located at the NW corner of Burnside and 10th Street. By October, 1930, Portland Motor Company dissolved and the location was occupied by the Wentworth and Irwin Nash Dealership.

 

Oh duh, gotcha. It's in Portland in the SE somewhere IIRC.

A bus from Rochdale, Lancs. (Greater Manchester now).

The 1905 BUICK in the James Melton Collection in the early 1950's. Hope Pete Eastwood can tell us were it is today. Bob

More James Melton cars, right to left Toledo, Stanley and White steamers. I'm not sure if the newest car is a 1920's Stanley or not. Bob
