It looks like some sort of gathering. Anyway, I have no idea what kind of cars these are, and the picture is too out of focus to do a good match. I did the first thing I could think of and went online and looked up the Ford Model T. After all, it was the best-selling car from the era. I found an ad for Ford cars from 1923, and it could be a match.

A Century of Progress 2
I have four of these postcards from the 1933 Chicago World's fair, The Century of Progress. I wasn't going to publish them back-to-back, but I have to confess I also wasn't going to have such a large gap between the first and second from this series. So, the caption on the back of the card, "Official Post Card of A CENTURY OF PROGRESS 225. General Motors Building at Night." The publishers and copyright are the same as the first card which can be found by clicking on The Century of Progress Collection in labels at the bottom of the post. The GM building was designed by architect Albert Kahn and housed an assembly line, not as large as one found in an actual GM plant, but one that made actual Chevrolet cars that would be sold at the fair. Once again, I don't know why, but blogger cuts a minuscule amount of the image on horizontal images, so click on the card to bring it up in a larger window to see it edge to edge.

Erie Catholics 3
The last three photos from this very small collection. Each image is labeled "Erie PA" We already know the woman is Elizabeth Gibson from previous posts. The bottom photo in the column has something else written on the back. "Caught you napping-or is it only blinking? or winking?" Click on Erie Catholics in labels to bring up all three posts.
