You know it?

I do not.

I just have some information about where and when. And I think I know the technical basis.

But maybe someone else can tell me some news?

No ideas? Promoted...

To the pros.

I see bits of Hispano Suiza and Pierce Arrow...

Yes, Pal, I agree with your last post.
The thing is I do not know anything about this one despite the year 1936, when the picture was made.
I also know the place and the overall topic of that photographic essay, which this pic ihas been a part of.

Maybe anyone can tell me some facts? Or will it just get another black hole inhabitant?...

That's what we call a botticella body I suppose . . .

One more try, then this one goes to the black hole....

May this rest in the black hole.. $:-\$

I found the same pic...but no name. $:-\$

Then we can reveal that the photo was taken by the famous female Life-Magazine photographer Margaret Bourke-White at Fort Peck, where she did an essay about the dam building project:

Fort Peck, Montana, Relief Project Pierce Arrow, Lincoln, Plymouth Et All Car, November 11, 1936

Maybe this will help someone else to carry on with this vehicle?

I took it from a well known blog, but no info can be found there.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2011, 11:48:50 AM »

I fear this will remain just another mystery car....

Re uploaded, as it has still been lost after #THEBIGRESCUE...

Was looking for something else, when I stumbled into this photograph again.
It is possible to read online the Fort Peck Press from 1934-1937. I started browsing through the issues, but it is very time consuming. Would anyone like to participate?

I posted this here as I hoped someone else might do this instead

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #16 on:** January 11, 2022, 02:42:48 PM »

I could do it

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #17 on:** January 12, 2022, 02:27:42 AM »

The first ad I've found is a guy called Grover C. Conger, Jr., who was selling a 1930 Plymouth with a fitted Essex body.

There's no picture of this car in the Fort Peck press

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2022, 12:53:28 PM »

There's no specific info about this car in the Fort Peck press. The puzzle picture was taken as we already know by Margaret Bourke-White, who worked for Life Magazine. So I think there's no way it could be published by a local newspaper. Anyway here is another picture from Margaret Bourke-White Collection

Thanks for looking into this

My pleasure. I do enjoy searching
