Photo #1976, isn't that a 1927 Erskine, with the battery box on the front fender?

It is.

RE #1978 --- I checked out Producers Cold Storage Ltd. on Google, and found the same photo there. This photo is from the Univeristy of Windsor (Ontario) archives. The caption says the Mollard family of Walkerville ON (then a Windsor suburb) who owned this company bought new Studebakers each year. For a guess, that's Frank T Mollard Sr., president, with the new Commander sedan, and Frank T. Mollard Jr., secretary-treasurer, with the grumpy look because Daddy only bought him a Champion business coupe.

Walkerville, Ontario was the headquarters of Studebaker of Canada from 1910 until the second world war. http://www.lib.uwo.ca/programs/compa...ada/stude.html

I like that old Parking Lot scene in # 1963 & 1965, full of 1940's up to mid 1950's Cars, I wonder what happens when the owner of the '55 Ford Wagon? in the right front corner shows up and says:
"I would like my Car please, now would be good!"

I think the junior exec in photo #1978 is scowling over what the dry cleaners did to his suit.

#1978 - I think I would be sad also if the two guys on either side of me got chrome hubcaps and I only got the crappy painted ones...

Is the person behind the wheel of the Erskine in photo @1976 a man or a woman?

A female impersonator of some kind.
