here’s a picture with a familiar face. It’s from my town of Myersville Marylands historical documents. Labeled “unknown people showing off there newfangled automobile”

It is a 1195-16, probably a 1916 since the sidelight appear to have black rims.

I like such old photos. I wonder what year it was made

Myersville Maryland 1926

Definitely in my top ten favorites

A mystery from our family photo album. Nobody knows who or where this picture is from.

My Great Grandfathers garage in Myersville Md about 1920. He sold and serviced Willys-Knight, Overland and Ford cars. The building still stands today and is a sea food restaurant. I believe the car out front is a Dodge?

some of these pictures might come from Tom Rootliebs research. Iam putting some off my favorites on here. The dentist T is classic!

There has always been something familiar about this one. A memory of one’s mother or grandmother. I picture her as a small town school teacher or librarian. The bicycle adds to the possibility’s.

Another timeless T picture. I’ve often wondered how it all stayed on there. Or maybe it didn’t…

Have you heard the good news?

Ive always found this one Peculiar. I guess he finally ran out of inflated spares and had to fix one?

The dust flying makes me smile. “Ford IS Racing”

The infamous Gospel car. Definitely a favorite, the face expression on the man in the back seat is priceless. I’ve always wondered the behind the scenes story to this one. I picture “you are my sunshine my only sunshine” as the song they would play.

I picture a dog catcher with this one.

Remember the Milk Man?

this one is in my top ten list. I love it and hate it at the same time.

Found a colorized version. Now you can see what appears to be a policeman and the mailman by the tree. Truly amazing

I have often wondered what their choice of Literature is? The car is interesting. A closed car with a cargo box. Looks like a cut down Tudor but the door looks like it’s off a touring.

love the perspective of this one.

wonderful image! I wonder if he ended up building a speedster later in life?

On the left is my Uncle, Ben Pierceall. Sitting on the hood of his car is rags, and on the right is his buddy Willmer Jackson. Taken about 1932-33 probably somewhere near Fort Laramie Wyoming. Sorry for the poor quality, it came from a very small print.

1926 Baltimore Maryland motorcycle Side car taxi. Called a “Dainty Cab” the shape of the cab on this thing looks very familiar.

As someone with half Chinese roots, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the Great Wall. Growing up, my family would talk about how it’s not just a wall, but a symbol of China’s strength, history, and determination. My grandparents would say that it’s a reminder of how hard people worked to protect the country, often at great personal cost.

It’s kind of surreal to think that people actually lived and worked up there, defending the empire in some pretty harsh conditions. The Wall was a big source of pride for my family, a real symbol of resilience something they passed down through stories about our heritage.

Where did we leave the car again?

Garage scenes from the past are what dreams are made of.

What’s he see in that old thing anyways? I don’t know. Awful lot of work just to go get an ice cream cone.
