...what I wouldn't give to go back in time to see my grandfather's old shop in West Phila during its heydays of the 1930's. Given a chance to see his tools and watch him work would be the coolest thing I could imagine....
|
his shop was located on Locust street in West Phila, PA |
|
tow truck made from a 1933 Packard touring car |
|
I believe this to be a late 20's Indian or Ace motorcycle |
|
judging by the make and model, I believe this was his first tow truck |
|
one on the hook! |
|
that's him in front
|
|
at some point he built a plane called a Curtis Wright pusher at the shop
|
|
Grandpop and his plane |
|
inside the shop, a picture of two of his employes |
