Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA) number 1 Highway Patrol Service (why don't they do this anymore?)


This old Dodge Brothers truck was a patrol, the electric car below? I bet strictly publicity event use. What possible emergancy roadside service could it possibly be that your smart cell phone can't do better?

Coca Cola advertised by displaying the name prominently, and with some unusual things like this '35 car with portable soda fountain

The photo was labeled 1935, but nothing about what type of car

Postal delivery vehicles from scooters, Vespas, up in size to Mack trucks



The above 1910, and below 1953, are from Dan at Hemmings http://blog.hemmings.com/
