    It is wonderful for LOC to upload these on Flickr.

    The car in the foreground is a '29 Plymouth (first year). The other one is a '30/'31 Ford.
  • Prince Neon Telephone said:
    Junked cars 1940s style, a decade earlier it would be a junked 1918 Model T ford, before then a junked wagon cart. The fact the car is only 12 years and rusted up is a sign the quality of those cars wasn't that good.

Houses which have been condemned by the Board of Health, but are still occupied by Negro Migratory workers, Belle Glade, Fla. (LOC)

    What sort of automobile is that?
  • aware health said:
    I doubt the caption. Given the conditions of the time and place, that housing looks pretty upscale -- relatively new roof and siding. Definitely better than the "shack" in the other photos.
  • Flawless Rhythm said:
    "Upscale"? You're joking, right?
  • aware health said:
    Relatively, I said...
  • Liz said:
    I agree. I wonder why they were condemned. Perhaps there was rampant illness or some other reason. The condition of the cabins looks pretty good for the time.
