Oh, The Horror of It All

The photographer(s) at Simmons Studio apparently got called out a lot to photograph accident damage to cars.  These bright, shiny vehicles would be worth a lot today if they weren't smashed - but they're smashed.  Look at all of these lost opportunities.

Here's a '36 Plymouth.

 Here's a different car but it looks like another Plymouth from about the same time.

A '36 Plymoth coupe today goes for around $35,000

This looks like a '41 Chrysler Royal sitting in front of the old post office on College Street.

They're asking around $10,000 for a Chrystler Royal on the Internet

I'm relying on Buddy Baker to tell me what type of cars these are.  This one is too smashed up to identify.

 

Buddy Baker (upon being asked to identify this car): "Oh, forever more."

This is an old International grain truck.  International Harvester made farm equipment.  They made pick-ups and big trucks both that they sold as Internationals

Same truck, bottom view.

Tracks at the edge of the road

If anyone has any more information about these vehicles or these accidents, please leave a comment.
