1934: ANOTHER EXQUISITE R.C. MAXWELL CENTER CITY TRENTON PHOTO

Unless I am corrected by our auto expert Ray Paskiewicz, I am going to identify that auto in the foreground with "bull frog" headlights a Pierce Arrow. One of the most charming features of these gorgeous photo is the wonderful views of those autos when they were in their "natural habitat."

    HI TOM....I DID'NT OWN A CAR UTILL AFTER I WAS MARRIED. MY WIFE WON 25 DOLLARS AT A BINGO GAME AND WE BOUGHT A 1933 CHEVY WITHOUT TIRES WITH THE MONEY. I THINK TIRES WERE HARD TO GET AT THAT TIME. WE DID OUR OWN MECHANICAL WORK, MY GOOD FRIEND FREDDY DeBRONZO AND I, THE MEMORIES OF THOSE YEARS ARE SOMETHING SPECIAL. THANKS AGAIN TOM.

    MY FIRST 2 CARS WERE PURCHASED FOR 25 BUCKS. A 1929 HUPP ROADSTER WHICH NEVER MADE IT TO THE ROAD, AND A 1928 FORD BUSINESS COUPE WHICH I USED FOR NEARLY A YEAR.

    Tom,

    Fifty dollars was a popular price for first time, car-buying young boys! I got mine which was a 1948 Dodge with Fluid Drive! It could start up in 3rd gear and go, if you had 20 minutes to spare.

    Remember the Reedman specials back in the 60s for $39.00? I probably should have bought one rather than the 56 Pontiac convertible and broken suspension I got from Sabatini's Used Cars up on Brunswick Ave. That car was the original low rider. ;-)

    Tom:
    My first car; a 32 Chevy was found in the alley where it had sat for years. I paid $10.00 for it, and "Frog" the local Mechanic got it running for another $5.00.
    Needed a push for a compression start, but hell that was easy when you had three friends who had no car.
    Later when I worked as a bill collector I had a 50 Dodge fluid dirve. Got a ticket for speeding up the Rt.1 hill in Trevose PA. (Think Neshamminy Mall). When the local cop took me in front of the JP, the old Jp laughed and said "Speeding up the hill in a fluid drive was impossible"!
    "Suprised he didn't roll backwards"
    Case Dismissed"!
