Re: Heading out
Great pics! In the first picture I wonder where they were all heading out to all duded up like that? A fox hunt? Shotgun start on the golf course?

Re: Heading out
The first picture has a lot of flags and banners. I suspect it is a holiday. maybe even before a parade starts. I was born in the 1930's but some of the sights had not changed much by then. No big change until WW2 because the depression stopped a lot of changes and then the war, stopped making new cars or buildings. So didn't really see much change until the late 1940's and 1950's.

Re: Heading out
Is that pic third from the end of the '23 Runabout reversed? It could be a RHD model but the numbers on the plate look backwards.

Re: Heading out
I don't see any steering column on the right side and looks like the numbers on the rear plate are correct also no tail light on right side. I am thinking it is the way the sun is shining on the door that the hinges are not seen.

Re: Heading out
The roadster appears to have a Canadian horn button mounted on the steering wheel nut. If it is a Canadian car, it should have a door on that side too, but no?

Re: Heading out
I think that Runabout looks much happier reversed. I notice it has some changes from factory standard including the radiator cap, steering wheel, paint & a very nifty spare tire (tyre if its really RHD?) carrier that fits the lines of the turtledeck better than the standard one. I'd like to find one of those!
