About Me
- Name: Ookpik
- Location: Michigan, United States
I began my interest in vernacular photography by a chance acquisition of over 10,000 negatives dating from the late 1920's through the early 1970's. Luckily, I knew what I had was something more than "someone's old pictures." This cache of old images became the impetus for me to create two Photoblogs: Ookpik’s Negativity and Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes. Ookpik’s Negativity contains photos that I would like to know more about while Mystery Ships Of The Great Lakes features photos of ships that I am trying to identify.

Appears to be a 1931 Rio. The car in back is a 1938 Ford.

...is a link to a 1930 REO sedan. The grille frame, the wire wheels and the headlamps are slightly different, but the 'shape' of the window frames looks identical. Note the front wings. Has he been off-roading it or playing 'chicken' or something?
I believe it is a 1930 Plymouth 30-U. Here is a link to a pic of a restored one.
