I had these out to share with my car collector friends, so I will post here as well...
I don't go crazy looking for these, if I see one reasonable or in a big lot I've purchased, I put it in my album...

Image Not Found

In the beginning... gotta love this 1905 effort to continue to sell buggies!

Image Not Found

Indian Motor Cycles are quite coveted! Just ask Mike Wolf from American Pickers. I don't own this one, I got outbid real good.

Image Not Found

From the manufacturer of Ruggles trucks in Canada. Bottom image is three individual ads for the trucks.

Image Not Found

Chandler is a make that hasn't been heard of in a very long time! In 1929 they were bought out by Hupp for their factory capacity to expand production of Huppmobiles. Another make that's been gone forever... every dog has their day!

Image Not Found

Koehler produced trucks for a very short time in Newark, New Jersey.

Image Not Found

Chevy Dealer in California in 1932... imagine using the name Lemmon in selling cars today?

Image Not Found

From Ford's New York office to Canada in 1924

Image Not Found

Nash dealer in New York 1949

Image Not Found

And why not a Pontiac dealer in Trenton New Jersey!

Image Not Found

It doesn't need to be old to make it into my car / truck cover album. Here's a modern Chevy cube van on a plumbers mailing.

re: Auto Related Covers!

Do you think the spelling Indian "Motocycle" was intentional or a mistake? It is spelled "Motorcycle " in the text so maybe the address was a typo.

Thanks for posting these - interesting bits of history.

re: Auto Related Covers!

good catch, but Motocycle is one of the examples of a changing language. Initially a late 19th century term for horseless conveyance, usually sitting one; later, a word for what we later call motorcycles.

re: Auto Related Covers!

When we were country school kids we had this machine that started out as an Erskine automobile. when i saw it it had no body..just a steering wheel and two front seats...i do not know who owned it ..it just sat in an apple orchard...but it ran. I could not drive it but my buddy could. Carefree days indeed !

Good question Sally! "Motocycle" was their trade name..

Indian Motorcycle is an American brand of motorcycles originally produced from 1901 to 1953 in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. Hendee Manufacturing Company initially produced the motorcycles, but the name was changed to the Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company in 1923.

re: Auto Related Covers!

Thanks for the response - it just seemed strange since the word motorcycle was spelled with an "r" on the back of the envelope. Didn't know that they changed their name. Nice cover....wish you would have gotten it!
