My grandfather along with coworkers in Lexington KY, probably around 1930. He's the one covered in grease on the far left with a coffin nail between his fingers. I remember him working mainly for Dixie McKinley Cadillac, eventually becoming service manager later in his life, but this must have been where he get his start.

Probably an artifact of telephoto lens compression, and computer rendering of the analog format. Just my guess... Did that truck ever look that new? Yes, there it is. |
Re: Vintage picture thread
Yeah it’s a bit skewed haha. I took that pic of my dad’s computer screen which was curved.
I agree, pretty cool to see a shiny new one. |

I posted this first pic not long ago but found some more relating to it. The first is my grandfather working in a garage in Lexington KY in the late 20's/early 30's. He is on the far left. The second pic was taken at Dixie McKinley Cadillac in Lexington sometime in the 1930's where he worked most of his life. He is on the far left again and covered in grease again. The third pic is from, I guess, around 1940 with their fancied up garage. It is the same garage as the second pic, noticing the "Parts" and "Specialized Lubrication" signs hanging on the right wall. The fourth pic is many years later, in 1960, when he had made Service Manager and was in Detroit for training - he is the man on the left. The last is from the same training session with a group photo of all the Service Managers in attendance. Cadillac would send him to Detroit when new models would come out and give the Service Managers hand-on training on what to expect.

Re: Vintage picture thread
dave6672, that was probably my favorite post in this whole thread, really like the "whole story". When did he pass away and how old was he?

He was mostly retired in the 1970's and spent most of his spare time fishing and took my brother and me along with him a lot. They had built their house in 1938 and lived there until my grandmother passed in 2004. Everything old they saved and it went up in the attic. After my grandmother's passing, my Dad took all the old stuff and put it in my parents attic. It stayed there until last year when I cleaned it out after my parents passing and now's it's in my basement. I'm going through things and that's where I came across these pictures, which I hadn't seen before. I now have my grandfather's Snap On toolbox which has a card taped in it from 1942 when he donated blood during WWII. I have a bunch of Cadillac manuals, including a leather bound one from 1932 that covers the V8, V12 and V16 Cadillac engines. As well as a lot more Cadillac training materials, certificates, etc. |
