The Baltimore automobile above demonstrates a safety catcher for pedestrians... I wonder if it was due to unsafe drivers who couldn't safely operate the cars, or pedestrians who couldn't avoid being hit by the comparably quiet cars

The car in the top photo is a 1923 Durant A-22 touring sedan, which was the most expensive model of the A-22 range, selling for $1,465.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the Hackett factory is very rare - the company was only in business in Jackson and Grand Rapids, MI between 1917 and 1919. It is also interesting to compare this factory with the Ford factory in Detroit - no production lines. Cars would have been manually moved to different parts of the factory according to what parts were being added.
