https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....wL._SX900_.jpg This is the one I have. The middle headlight doesn't move but all 4 doors open revealing the leather interior seats. The steering wheel moves the front wheels. Both the front and back lids open. The engine is in the back if you recall. In the front (trunk) is a spare tire and some suitcases. Finding that photo may be problematic, but you never know! P.S.: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! In all the years I've been in Los Angeles, I cannot recall a rainy Thanksgiving! It is today. It's usually quite warm and dry. (I'm not complaining!) |

A 'mystery' bar. Found at liveauctioneers "Bar with actors in Hollywood CA." https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/d2WGEd.jpg liveauctioneers I love everything about this photograph. It's like a bohemian time capsule. The cluster of people in the corner are havin' a good ol' time. lol......Actually, everyone in the place is having a good time! note the very cool arcade game. (I want it) A sparse description is written on the reverse. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/gQ8y67.jpg If only the name of the bar had been included. But there are some clues: If you look closely at the mantel behind the bar you can see rustic looking mule carts laden with bottles of beer. (there's a stagecoach too) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/lIkDoZ.jpg detail I'm guessing the guy on the far right is a writer. ;) And there are more mule carts on the left side of the bar. (#4 is actually the stagecoach) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/EkMAn1.jpg detail Because of the sheer number of carts, I thought the beer might have been served in the carts on special nights. (but I don't see a place for ice in the carts to keep the beer cold)..There goes my theory. OK; so far, we know the bar has a Western Motif. (the lighting fixtures are westernish too) And since the bar's clientele is (are) actors, I'd wager a guess that the bar was located near a movie studio. So it's up to you my fellow noirishers. . . .:superwhip get workin'. Oh, and one more thing. . .H A P P Y..... T H A N K S G I V I N G ! . |
Thanks! I have had Silent Echoes since it first came out. Always on the lookout for stuff from Edendale era since I live on Duane Street. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Noirishers! :cheers:
I hope this is not too off-topic, but it's a forgotten bit of Los Angeles/Thanksgiving tradition that I've never before heard of. Anyone here heard of “Ragamuffin Day” before? Quote:

These photos are from the Library of Congress website. Unfortunately, they do not list where the photos were taken. There are 9 of them in total, if you'd like to see the rest of them. https://i.imgur.com/FrjYTgg.jpg 7 of the 9 photos seem to have been taken at the same dirt-road location. Anyone want to wager a guess at where the photos were shot? https://i.imgur.com/EFLLKhf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/J2QVu7J.jpg |
Funny you should ask . . .

It's a New York thing, actually, according to this interesting and thorough discussion of the matter. By a great coincidence, I was just reading about this yesterday. |

The only address I could find for the Haskells who owned the Tucker. https://i.imgur.com/u5G0T9R.jpg rescarta.lapl.org Here's the house nowadays. Adjoining it is a little dead end fragment of Louisiana Ave. https://i.imgur.com/Qj83iky.jpg GSV https://i.imgur.com/aE1ky4u.jpg Popping around the side of the house into that dead end, I spy this. https://i.imgur.com/xdaaWV2.jpg Eureka! .... the Tucker was parked at the side of the house and we're looking across Olympic Blvd. in the original picture. Those poles match up and the streetlight looks right. :ohyeah Quickly hits snag though because I can't match the buildings in the picture with what's there today. :mad: I'm thinking the right general vicinity/neighborhood but not the exact location. :shrug: |
Quote:
The neighborhood and location are correct for the Tucker. The light poles also line up. The one story house in the background (across Olympic) was replaced with a McMansion years ago, as have many of the single story Janss Development homes in the area. The land far exceeds the home values, and they just get torn down and replaced these days. |

I'm still a bit confused by this. . . __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "The earliest known history on the turquoise Tucker, was when it appeared on a car lot in March of 1959, just five miles from my aunt & uncle's home. Mr. Schutta further states that it was almost certainly sold new by Southwest Tucker, located at 2021 Wellington Road, which was five to six miles from the Haskell's home.".... Carl J. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But 2021 Wellington Road is located in the middle of a residential area. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/dfUYOU.jpg GSV...note the street number on the step. I highly doubt that this is the correct address of the Southwest Tucker Automobile Dealership. . |
Here is Lucas' Tucker:

Earlier in the thread HossC discovered that the Sable Arms apartments were built by the Zobelein family on the former site of George Zobelein's estate. But we've never seen a vintage photograph of the Sable Arms. . . . . .that is, until now! :) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/BE89sq.jpg ebay Here's the portion of HossC's post that discusses the Sable Arms.

HossC's complete post includes a photograph of George Zobelein's home (pre-Sable Arms) and some very helpful maps.... HERE. . |

Doesn anyone know German Swedish?
Here we have a group of Swedish (or German) men with their catch of fish. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...921/D3Kaws.jpg eBay Can anyone tell if the fish are fresh or salt water fish? ...(I can't help but notice how small they are) I hoped that the fishing spot would be mentioned on the reverse. . .but if I'm not mistaken, a good part of it appears to be cooking instructions. :shrug: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/n9fsov.jpg eBay POSTED....Los Angeles...10:30 P.M....Oct. 21, 1920.

I think it's quite possible that the Tucker that went to Murphy Motors was the only Tucker (that is, a Tucker 48 and not a pilot car/proto) to come to Los Angeles. With just fifty made, and having been built in Chicago, I don't think there was a whole lot to go around to justify a dealership before the car was, in fact, properly launched. I believe the story about Haskell buying "the first Tucker that came in" (which is repeated here and other places) but I straight up reject the concept of "Southwest Tucker" even though it came from "Mr. Mike Schutta, Automotive Historian, Secretary of the Tucker Automobile Club" who should certainly know more about the subject than I would. |
