This set of photos shows us cars waiting and unloading at ferry terminals in Washington State. Some of the photos are believed to have been taken in the Seattle and Bainbridge Island areas. They appear to range from the late thirties on through to the mid fifties.
If you see any noteworthy cars in the photos or can identify and of the locations, please let us know. Photos courtesy of the Benjamin Ames collection (scroll down).
Certainly that Austin Devon in the first pic was a rare sight anywhere in the States back then, but even more so out west, I reckon.
Is it a Devon or a Dorset?
The panel truck in the first photo is an International Harvester Metro whick underwent little change to it’s looks from the 1930s through the 1950s.
Looks like a ’47 or ’48 Pontiac in front of the ’48 Mercury.
The south Vashon Island dock came to mind when I looked at the photo taken from behind the single row of cars. Vashon is a great place. My father bought a 35 Dodge from a Vashon resident several years ago and drove it back to Pennsylvania. That would be something if the same car is in line
