Man, you really have to appreciate the guts of people who went travelling or camping with equipment like that. What we go through today with 20-50 year old commercial buses is nothing to the difficulties they had. No AAA, CoachNet, etc. If you didn't fix it yourself, you got dragged to town behind a team of horses. | ||

Sorry about the picture size, still learning. Here's a link to the complete slide show - you can expand it to full screeen. It has a lot of very interesting historical pictures from the 20.s http://www.slideshare.net/BruBruney/imagens-do-passadoparte2 tg | ||

Some of these images seem to be Washington DC (and, of course, some of them definitely are NOT). Anybody know anything about the "house" on the car shot? The shops in the background look American. And the "multiple window" interstate Gospel car looks like there's a story there, too! Odd that they're on a site in Portuguese (which implies Portugal or Brazil) but at least they're on the Innerweb so we can see them. | ||

These photos - and a lot more are on several web sites, and other people have written about the photos, their source, etc. I find it fascinating becaused I have never seen pictures of such quality for their obvius age. Others have attempted to identify the photographer with mixed results, if any, but here is a recent discussion that may shed some light: http://photo.net/casual-conversations-forum/00XnUo And here is the original Portuguese home page bearing the same name - it offers up over 600 old photos of the same era, and of the same amazing quality: http://hagopgaragem.com/imagepassado.html tg |
