In addition it featured a high performance engine. The 1962 Jeftire was based on the compact F-85 2-door hardtop but these models were fitted with a Garrett turbocharger that relied on “Turbo Rocket Fluid†to prevent the 10.25- compression V-8 from detonating. Unfortunately many Oldsmobile drivers failed to maintain and drive the cars properly so either they had run the fluid tank dry losing turbo power or had not driven the car hard enough to generate boos and the assemblies froze over time.

[Automobile accidents] Lew Nichols (photographer)
Original archive of photographs and ephemera belonging to an ambulance driver in Southern California 1951-1952
N.p.: N.p. 1952. Vintage string bound photograph album belonging to William Arthur Slaughter an ambulance driver in Southern California circa 1951 and 1952. Included with the album are a pay stub dated June 1948 and noting Slaughter's previous employment by Southern Pacific Company as a railway lineman two driver's identification cards dated 1951 and 1952 a promotional matchbook bearing the name and number of Schaefer Ambulance Service in California and approximately 24 newspaper clippings covering accidents in Los Angeles several showing photographs of Slaughter. Stamp of photographer Lew Nichols on the versos of nearly all of the photographs. <br /> <br /> The album contains 36 black-and-white photographs with six additional loose photographs also included with the collection. Manuscript ink annotations by Slaughter provide captions for many of the photographs identifying subjects and locations and noting details about the various incidents captured in the album. One particularly striking caption for a photograph of a woman being carried out on a stretcher reads: "Honeymoon Cottage / Her Husband Died during the night / she was found next morning unconsius / Suficated Gas Heater / in coma for 30 days then Died / Maried only Two weeks" sic. <br /> <br /> As the above caption implies the incidents captured in the album span from asphyxiation to heart attacks although the majority of photographs document automobile accidents-almost certainly one of the main causes of death in California in the 1950s. The album also includes several photographs of Slaughter and the other ambulance drivers "off duty" as well as one photograph of a new Cadillac apparently used as an ambulance. A grisly and fascinating collection of accident photography capturing the dark side of the golden age of the automobile in postwar America. <br /> <br /> Album 12 x 9 inches. Photographs range from 10 x 8 inches to 5 x 4 inches. Photographs Very Good plus album Very Good with front board detached from the binding. N.p. unknown

The Dayton Speedway was originally opened for its first official race on June 3 1934 and would later be purchased by Frank Funk in 1937 who quickly began converting the 5/8th-mile oval into a half-mile high-banked oval and was rumored to have buried old trolley cars to fill in the banking which was finished at the end of 1939. He added an “oil substance†to make the track as hard as pavement but on really hot days would end up getting soft and coating the cars and drivers. Funk had already built the first half-mile oval in the United States in Winchester IN. The race in June 1940 featured over 10000 spectators and featured Woody Woodford of Los Angeles CA Henry Schlosser of Cincinnati OH Jimmy Wilburn of Los Angeles CA Johnny DeCamp of Richmond IN “Duke†Dinsmore from Dayton OH Elbert Booker of Detroit OH Mike Salay of South Bend IN Johnnie Crone from Marysville IN and many others.

[AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL -- BRASS ERA]. [STEVENS, Dr E (later Lieutenant Royal Army Medical Corps & Photographer); STEVENS, Charles; C
Seana: Stubbins and the Colonel on tour. . . Two volume set of 131 platinum print photos recording the Brass Era adventures across Europe in a 1912 Delaunay-Belleville.
Horsham West Sussex & Haymarket London UK: H.W.C. James A. Sinclair & Co. Ltd. 1912. Two vols. Oblong 8vo. 8.5 x 5 in. 64; 69 leaves unnumbered. including 2 calligraphic titles 63 & 68 platinum print matte finish photographs w/ images sized from 2 x 3 in. up to 3.25 x 3.75 in. on 4.75 x 7 in. prints all expertly hinged at gutter margin a few w/ pencil annotations on versos occasional light toning from the platinum salt emulsions coating the papers. Uniformly bound in striking full green morocco bindings by Zaehnsdorf gilt ruling on covers gilt inner dentelles 5 raised bands on spines title lettering ownership & dating in gilt a.e.g. marbled endpapers very slight shelfwear incremental rubbing at corners still a NF set. An exceptional pair of automobile travel albums composed of platinum print photographs by Dr. E. Stevens apparently presented to fellow Royal Photographic Society member and platinum photograph enthusiast H.W. Child. The motor car was a grey 1912 35 CWT Delaunay-Belleville depicted in 15 of the images bore the GB License Plate of BP1945 registered in 1912 to Charles Stevens c/o Dr. Stevens of Sarcelles Horsham West Sussex July 4 1912. The Delaunay-Belleville in the Brass Era was one of the most expensive and prestigious touring cars for travelers and enthusiasts whose owners at the time included Evalyn Walsh McLean original owner of the Hope Diamond as well as Mann who traveled “Round the World†in 1912 in a similar model. The intrepid travelers clearly intended to photograph and put their new motor through its paces traveling about 3000 miles. The album opens with photos of the auto loaded at Portsmouth and by ferry to Le Havre and then driving down through Normandy Alencon Le Mans Tours Bordeaux and onto Biarritz. The tour extended across the Pyrenees into Spain visiting San Sebastian followed by drives to Pau Lourdes Toulouse Narbonne and then along the South of France into Italy. The drive was not without pitfalls as they suffered punctured tires with two different images showing repairs one with a crowd as well as the photo waiting for a massive rock slide of giant boulders fallen onto the roadway and being removed by wooden wheelbarrows. They continued their tour across the Alps into Switzerland with views of the travelers at a Swiss border station and then capturing scenic vistas and driving onto Salzburg & Linz. One of the images captures advertising and awning of a “Buchdruckerei†specializing in photographic books supplies and photo albums. At that point the motorists had reached the most Eastern point and drove along the Danube route crossing overland to the river Necker Heidelberg and finally into the Netherlands with visits of Amsterdam Haarlem often with picturesque images capturing the Dutch in their iconic wooden shoes windmills canals and even electric railways. One particular image documents the “Art Store†selling Volendam silver & brass and antiques. The final image shows the car being loaded back on the steamship to England from Rotterdam. The platinum photographs were processed by James A. Sinclair & Co. Ltd. at 34 Haymarket in London specializing in photographic prints & equipment and at the time the Platinum prints were Alfred Stieglitz’s process of choice celebrating the images for their aesthetic qualities and permanence. As the Platinum prints were printed direction on coated paper with platinum salts the image was absorbed directly into the paper creating a softer and less-detailed image which was quite durable. Dr. Stevens fl. 1910-1918 who during World War I served as surgeon with the Royal Army Medical Corps joined the Royal Photographic Society in 1915 and exhibited three of his photographs presumably from this excursion including “In the Paese†“Making Port Concarneu†and “Santa Maria della Pace Lago di Como.†Child b. 1859 was a very successful merchant who by 1897 was also an active member of the Royal Photographic Society Platinum print enthusiast and automobile traveler as well. He exhibited several times with the RPS often appearing in their exhibitions from 1898-1915 the last being “Citadel and Church Dinant†shot in 1914 and displayed as an Autochrome. See: Ordinary Members The Photographic Journal Vol. 41 January 1917 pp. 32 41; Exhibition Catalogue of 1898 43rd Annual Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society 1898; 44th 1899; 45th 1900; 47th 1902; 60th 1915.

First edition of this scarce Dealer’s showroom brochure for the 1947-1948 Chrysler passenger cars which were minor updates to the 1942 models following World War II and would continue to be produced until the appearance of the “Second Series 1949†in mid-1949. The “Woodie†Town and Country 4-door Sedan and the 2-door Custom Club Coupe’s were wildly popular and Chrysler actually outsold Ford from 1946-1948 by over 400000 cars. The “Fluid-Drive Transmission†replaced the flywheel with a fluid coupling and proved far simpler more reliable and efficient than the automatic transmissions offered by other automakers during the 1940’s.
