Circa 1926. Continuing our back-alley tour of Washington, D.C. "Ford Motor Co." An urban junkyard. National Photo Company glass negative. View full size.
My very humorous uncle, who never stopped with the corny jokes and witticisms, always remarked when we drove past a junkyard, "Wow, that was one heck of an accident," which always brought gales of laughter from the passengers (except he didn't say heck). I in turn used the same comment on my kids every time I drove them past a junkyard, getting the same response. Now I notice that they too are repeating that mantra on their own youngsters. Thanks Uncle Bill for starting this family legacy.
A location that shall remain hidden in the mists, I'd guess. It's only been 85 years, surely someone will recognize that tree and that little alleyway between the buildings. I know some "T" fans that would love to go back in time and rescue some of those cars.
