This documentary is about Automobile manufacturers from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century who fell victim to the recession of the 1920's following the end of WWI and were unable to survive the Great Depression and the results of the economic downturn of the 1930's. Companies like Auburn, Anderson, Cord, , Chalmers, Duesenberg, Elkhart, Durant, Kissel, Essex, Peerless, Pierce Arrow, Durant, Stanley, Oakland, Lexington, Harroun, Hupp, Lexington, Maxwell, Marmon, Moon, Jackson, Dort, and Franklin, just to name a few.

This video shows photos and video from that time period as well as advertisements from several of these manufactures. I managed to fit many images to create this interesting documentary.

When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.

As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.
