Royal Laundry, South Raymond Street, Pasadena, CA, 1930. Not sure how much laundry would fit in that Bantam coupe but sure would love to have it. The tile facade of the Royal Laundry was still there when I was growing up in Pasadena, and worked at a gas station right down the street.

 

A parade to support health (well, why not?), Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, 1927

 

Pasadena Laundry, South Fair Oaks, 1925

 

Santa Anita Apartments, Pasadena, 1935

I wondered where you had got to. There are several images on the net, but no information.

I was looking at a 1961 Groveport-Madison High School Yearbook (where my Dad taught school from 1959-61) and really liked this picture of Ralph Smith on the supporters/advertisers page. Look close and you'll see he is holding a cigar in his right hand and a handkerchief in his left hand ready to dry perspiration from his forehead. I can hear Ralph say with a big smile as you walk in his showroom, "Howdy folks! Can I put you in a new Chevrolet today?"

 

Great stuff, when women were women.....sigh

 

Do you think that dodge truck had a Chevy motor in it to make that jump =)?

Is that radical fade-away thing a one-off ?

 

We used to have a guy come through my neighborhood with one of these in the early 60s. It was a fun ride and we would all clamour for that coveted front seat because you got to pull the string that rang the bell.
