Nice to see you didn’t bold face this message. It’s much easier to read, plus it’s good info. Thanks.

"It lasted nearly 4 years" The stock market crash was 1929 and we really didn't recover until WWII, so really ten years.

August 1929- March 1933 are the dates of record for the depression and followed by a recession.

My grandfather was 50 years old when the stock market crashed. Lost the farm, never recovered. I remember going to visit him in the 60's, the shack that he lived in and the pain on his face when my father insisted on giving him money. I just recently came to understand how dire those times were.

Very nice photo. A reminder of what our greater generation experienced.

For all that lived it. Thank you for your example.

Thanks for sharing.

It’s easy to think back to the "good ol’ days", but times were really tough for a lot of people for a decade or so. My dad once said, "Many Americans are nostalgic for a time that never was." I often remind myself of that when I think I’m living in the wrong era.

That 28/29 sport coupe indeed had a hard life as I suppose it was around 10 years old .

My Grandfather on my dad's side lost his bank. He sold everything to return deposits to his customers. The kids supported him after that. The family moved from New Jersey to California during the depression. From riches to rags.

Try this. I put that picture into a puzzle. Hope it works for you.

Great photo.

2 HP on the left and 40 HP on the right.

I cant imagine what it was like to be brought up using the horse and buggy and then to be catapulted into the mechanical world. It had to be frightening and exciting at the same time.

JayJay · 02-02-2021, 12:09 PM

Great photo, really sends a message of can-do. Looks like that sport coupe is a real hodge-podge: appears to be 21" on the front and 19" on the rear, plus it looks like the right headlight bucket is black (commercial) rather than nickel.

My mother, who was born on a plantation in Louisiana in 1898 and died in 1989 said to me the year she died, "I have lived an amazing life. Born when waking or a buggy were the means to get somewhere and now I have jumped on a plane to fly across country and men have walked on the moon."
