This first picture shows Elwood Haynes driving an 1896 Haynes-Apperson automobile.



This next picture shows my aunt Ann between her 1957 Plymouth Fury and an Apperson Jackrabbit in Great Falls, Montana... when the Fury was pretty new. Diane Apperson (can't remember her married name?) was a friend of ours and grew up in Great Falls. She later lived in Lewistown, where I was born, when I knew her.



This picture was taken by a friend of mine at the Booneville, Missouri show in 2005, showing this JI Case Touring Car in operation there.

I sure do like that last one Gary. I haven't seen any pictures where they was being used.

Betty,
Elwood was driving his company's first automobile. The engine is under the seat and it is chain drive.

Caseman,
I'm glad you like the picture. My good friend Dale Richardson has two Case touring cars at Orofino, Idaho, but searching 10,000 scans is tiring. Hopefully I will bump into them soon.

This first picture is another of Dr. Attix's white Franklin air cooled roadster in Lewistown, Montana. He is the one who delivered me and is standing near the roadster.



This is Dan Tombrink of Columbia Falls in his brother Dick's 1924(?) Stanley Steamer Touring Car at Worden, Montana



This is a mild flood in Lewistown, Montana. Until they put in a diversion dam about 35 years ago, it was common. This was in front of the ER Roehl Buick Agancy and when the cars still parked in the middle of Main Street.



This is the back end of the 1947 Studebaker Dad bought in the fall of 1946 that we took to California. This picture was taken in the Los Angeles area in December of 1946. We were visiting friends who are posing in this picture.



This Wings Over International was an IHC ad circa WWII or a little later, showing a DC-3 (C-47 military designation) with International D-series vehicles.



My good friend and owner of the Miracle Of America Museum at Polson, Montana owns this International Harvester D-series van and he posed it with a B-17 here near Kalispell, Montana a couple years back, trying to simulate the earlier ad. And by the way, if any of you are ever traveling in the Missoula/Kalispell area of Montana, take time to visit this museum. It is very patriotic, has tons of old iron, antique cars, motorcycles, an old town and farm and has been written up as "The Smithsonian of the West."



This is a picture I took in the early 1960s at Virginia City, Montana, of a neat looking, beautiful little Hupmobile Roadster.



This is the Fergus Creamery's IHC Highwheeler the Dissley Brothers used circa 1913 to haul their cream cans in delivery.



This is a Rumely Truck from their catalog. I don't know how many they produced? I've never seen one.



This is a 1912 Avery Truck from their 1912 catalog.



As a favor to JR who has provided this great site, I went looking for this picture this afternoon. It is a Seven Passenger 1914 J.I. Case Touring Car.

This first picture is another of the Fergus Creamery and circa 1918 Model T & TT vehicles around it in Lewistown, Montana. I remember very well going in there when it was open in my younger years. The Dissley family ran quite an enterprise there for many years. Howard Dissley was purportedly on the cutting edge of development of "Yogurt".



This next pickup isn't old, as I remember when it was new in 1951, but there are those who may think it is old, so I'll post it anyway. It was headed up Beaver Creek Hill, from our farm in winter.

This is a truck I did the body work on and painted the cab, for a good friend here in the Flathead Valley. It is a 1948 Chevy 1-1/2 Ton Truck like his father had when he was a boy. He always wanted one like it, so we made one like it. He is now doing a Chevy 1/2 ton Pickup restoration from that same era. However, this old guy isn't doing the body work or painting on the pickup. I enjoy that work, but not like I used to!

Newer yet are these vehicles of mine, when we lived in Billings in 1973. The pickup is the favorite I've ever owned. It is a 1971 GMC Sierra Grande and was loaded. I was ashamed to tell anyone it cost $5,900 after I put the chrome wheels on it. That wouldn't buy it, in anywhere near this condition today. The Buick Century Station Wagon was a 1969. It had that rear tailgate that would open like a tailgate or open like a door. It was originally gold and wood grain, but I repainted it to match the exterior and interior of my GMC pickup.

I sure have a hard time calling anything like this "old". That is my older daughter Michaelle riding her bike toward the pickup. Notice the famed Billings or Yellowstone "Rimrocks" in the background, behind our house on Avenue F.

You sure have some great pictures. I have some interest in B-17's and liked that picture. Here is a link to the history of NINE O NINE the one shown in the picture and some history of the original one..mike
