Taylor Motor Co.: 1923
1923. "Taylor Motor Co. exterior," a Ford dealership in Washington, D.C. 5x4 glass negative, National Photo Company Collection. View full size.
Coincidence?
The location of this dealership on "T" Street makes me wonder if the owner purposely placed his Ford Dealership on the street whose name was his primary product: the Ford Model T.
The Tin Lizzie was produced from 1908 - 1927 with over 15,000,000 produced.
Down the block to the left is a sign that reads, "????? SHOES WEAR WELL," that looks like it had a previous slogan painted over.
Car on the left
I wonder about the car on the far left missing the chassis. Did someone actually drive it in this way?
[It's a chassis missing the body. Trucks and other commercial vehicles were often sold this way with the owner supplying the body. - Dave]
It's still there...
The R. L. Taylor Ford dealership was at 14th and T streets NW in Washington. It and the building next door in the photo will be a part of the T Street Flats.
People In The Frame
I am always intrigued by the people in the frame, even if they were not part of the desired subject. I wonder about the woman with two children, where they were going that day 84 years ago. In 1923 my father would have been 6 and my mother 4, close to these children's ages.
