Old Photo - We Hope Your Friday Commute is Smoother Than This
We Hope Your Friday Commute is Smoother Than This: It seems that traffic jams are not a development, which was caused by the advent of the National System of Interstate Highways. Traffic in and around cities and highly populated areas had been congested even before use of the automobile became common. On The Old Motor today you can learn a bit more all about the history of traffic. |

Re: Old Photo - We Hope Your Friday Commute is Smoother Than This
I recall those "wonderful" days. Especialy the Sayreville light on rt 9. next to the old Dutch boy Paint plant. (Now a superfund site) You gagged for a half a mile at stop and go speed. And if the car next to you had bad rings (so many did) it was worse. Hot day (No A.C.) + Dutch boy Paint + breather fumes & smoky exhaust + Sayreville light =Hell

Re: Old Photo - We Hope Your Friday Commute is Smoother Than This
The only difference between then and today is that we have people on bikes rocketing between lanes at 60 mph (even when traffic is moving at 50 mph) and someone will inevitably try and cut in front of everyone one else because they are more important. Which in turn slows everyone else down even more. Sorry rant over...

Re: Old Photo - We Hope Your Friday Commute is Smoother Than This
Terry, you are correct, it appears to be either 1930 or 31 Sport Coupe or Cabriolet to me.

Re: Old Photo - We Hope Your Friday Commute is Smoother Than This
It is either 1928 or 1930 Chicago.
(I can't find my good 1928 original paint tag but it is white lettering). -Tim |
