Re: Chief Corn Flake
The 10th picture is either a fake or the car has been fitted with a filler neck! They are on the wrong side and a woman is sitting in the front seat right over the filler hole in the tank!

Re: Chief Corn Flake
Norman, it’s a well accessorized lIzzy so could certainly have one of the various brands of “fillometers” that allowed the driver to just stick the hose between her legs to fill the tank.

Re: Chief Corn Flake
I like that photo of the T getting gas with the shaded headlight lens. I think that is 1921?

Re: Chief Corn Flake
The "Ranger, Texas" street scene can be located on Google Maps, if you go to Ranger Texas, then Street View, and then go S on Rusk St where it crosses Main St. The building with the "White Stripe" rows of brick or stone is still standing, although if you move along with street view, you will see that the roof has fallen in, and you can see collapse debris through the windows. By rotating right and left, you can see the building across the street from this "White Stripe" building. It is still standing and seems to be intact. The rest of the buildings in the original street scene seem to have been demolished or changed considerably. There is a bank on the corner of Main St. in "Street View" but it looks like it was put up either late in the 1930's (doubtful as banks were just recovering then) or sometime in the 1940's or 1950's, when there was wartime prosperity.
Always love these old pics, and looking up the spots on Google Maps!
