Described by auto experts as “the Mona Lisa of American historic automobiles,” it became the first U.S.-built car to win an international auto race when it captured the 1908 Vanderbilt Cup. The Locomobile was aptly named as it was built as strong as any locomotive. It was built for nearly 30 years in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It had a reputation as one of the finest and most carefully built cars ever manufactured in the United States. It was also one of the most luxurious and most prestigious — and the most expensive. Everything about the Locomobile bespoke elegance. Its massive body gleamed with innumerable layers of paint, each hand-rubbed to a gleaming finish.
More here on the car for those interested:
Our car broke down in a sketchy neighborhood in Chicago. So I went looking for help. I found a man who told me he had the parts to fix my radiator coolant leak.
Now I'm no auto expert, but I can't figure out what to connect these body parts to?

Some shots from a visit earlier this year to America's Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio www.americaspackardmuseum.com/. The particularly neat thing about this museum is that it;s located in an old Packard dealership. I will defer to the antique auto experts to advise on what particular model Packard this is, but it definitely falls under the "looks fast even standing still" category!

Tobacconists delivered not only tobacco but also candy, household cleaners, brushes, etc.
From Wikipedia-
"A tobacconist is an expert dealer in tobacco in various forms and the related accoutrements. Such accoutrements include pipes, lighters, matches, pipe cleaners, pipe tampers, ashtrays, humidification devices,hygrometers, humidors, cigar cutters, and more. Books and magazines, especially ones having to do with tobacco are commonly offered. Items irrelevant to tobacco such as puzzles, games, figurines, hip flasks, and candy are sometimes sold. A tobacconist shop is traditionally represented by a wooden Indian positioned nearby."

Any auto experts date the truck?

This is my Day 4 of Barry McKay's five-day B&W challenge, response.

While touring around the back-roads in the Niagara area, we went to see an old car/truck that the auto experts in my extended family had told me about and which they had obtained permission for me to go and see. This was a scouting trip to check out the site for a photo-shoot I had in mind. While there I took advantage of the opportunity to capture a few frames for Barry's B&W photo challenge pool. As for the car, it is a Ford Model A truck as far as I can see. But the date, I leave that to more experienced car buffs, and all I can suggest is late 1920s early 1930s. This vehicle is sitting awaiting restoration although the weeds suggest it has been a slowish project to get started. I am looking forward to going back and shooting it again, and, hopefully, seeing its restoration in progress when the time comes. - JW

Brakes are one of the most crucial parts of your vehicle when it comes to your safety. It is vital to carry out a complete brake inspection at least once a year to ensure the healthy condition of the braking system and operating hardware. A brake system involves various subparts and materials such as brake pad, fluid, shoes, rotors, drums, and more. Every time you apply brakes while driving, the overall braking system wears down bit by bit with time. This is the main reason why a timely brake repair and replacement is necessary.
At Brakes and More, we always hope that our customers should feel comfortable and safe in their vehicles. Our auto experts are highly trained and understand your need for proper and exceptional brakes services. We aim to provide the highest quality brake services by delivering complete satisfaction at an affordable price while making the entire process extremely convenient.

San Francisco, 1999
Dignified Edwardians and a classic gas-guzzler along (and on) the streets of North Beach.
Hey, any auto experts out there know what car this is? (I'm the son of an auto mechanic but have remained forever ignorant about cars.)
I've exhausted most of my relatively interesting digital shots of SF, so I raided the 35mm stuff for this one -- San Francisco is my next stop on my "Meet Your Flickerers" Unofficial World Tour.
This is evident from the plenitude of scan tools and code readers made available to the customers through various platforms. Previously, automotive diagnostic scanners were not an integral part of auto repair work. Auto experts, auto mechanics, auto enthusiasts did quite well for their customers with respect to their customers and of course the automobiles themselves.
