"Botterill Auto Company Display, Dodge Brothers, Pierce Arrow and Hudson Cars"

1918

 

Wow, and isn't that the year John & Horace BOTH died of influenza?
Fate is surely capricious, is it not?

 

1917. referred to as a "Botterill" but I'd say that is the dealers name. many of these pics were from his cars from the same photographer.

 

I may have been too quick on the trigger guessing Doble. This doesn't look like a Doble crowd. MAYBE, Pope or Winton? Help, MrModelT, et.al.!!!

49Rat & MrFire, you guys have some AWESOME old shots!!! I love those Hudsons, and this '34 retractible hardtop blows me away. I'd heard it was done in Europe WAY before it was done in the states, but SEEING the real deal is a treat!
