Wraps. â€œThe Inter-State was a Brass Era car built in Muncie Indiana by Inter-State Automobile Company from 1909 to 1919. History Thomas F. Hart announced in October 1908 the winning name of his new company chosen via a contest. The Inter-State Automobile Company set up shop at 142 Willard Street. Ads stated "we could get more for this car." Originally all Inter-States were mid-market both in size and price with four-cylinder engines. In 1913 6-cylinder engines were added. Unfortunately receivership followed in the fall of 1913. Thomas Hart cited "internal dissention and his inability to secure working capital because of disagreement among stockholders." In February 1914 Frank C. Ball one of the original Inter-State investors bought the Inter-State factory and real estate. This resulted in a renaming of the parent company to the Inter-State Motor Company. General Motors In 1915 a new Beaver 4-cylinder low-priced car was released. By May 1918 automobile production was suspended in favor of war work. In late February 1919 F.C. Ball announced he would be resuming passenger car production but by March of the same year Ball sold the Inter-State factory to General Motors for them to produce their new Sheridan.â€ Wikipedia The title page notes the manufacturer is a "Member Association Licensed Automobile Manufacturers Licensed under Selden Patent" A rare catalog with only the Indiana Historical Society holding a copy as of this writing.

Greg Wildrick [Vernacular photography] [Automobile]Biblio.com

Original vernacular photograph album documenting the vehicle ownership history of Greg Wildrick of Peru Indiana 1955-1966

1967154897Peru Indiana: N.p. 1967. Vintage stringbound vernacular photograph album documenting the vehicular obsessions of one Greg Wildrick of Peru Indiana who would ultimately kill four people in a motor vehicle accident and later die himself in the same manner while speeding. Approximately 150 black-and-white photographs and 50 color photographs with manuscript ink annotations captioning most of the images. Manuscript ink annotations on the front board provide the album's title: "#1 / Our new cars etc. / Family Too." Additional annotations on the inside rear board note: "The bullshit contained in this so called albumn sic belongs to Greg E. Wildrick / 4 Holiday Drive / Peru Indiana is where I live if you don't know me. Call 472-2550 / If you don't call me forget it!!! / Book Finished March 5 1967 at 4:45 A.M." The photographs in the album span roughly 1955 to 1966 compiled by Greg at the age of 19. In addition to many images of the family's muscle cars and trucks the album also contains quite a few shots of bicycles go-karts quarter midgets and speedboats often with family members posing happily nearby. Several images also capture vehicles in use. Patently obsessed with cars and speed from a young age Wildrick would go on to work as a used car salesman in nearby Kokomo Indiana throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Wildrick's fanaticism also evidently extended to his leisure hours as the Kokomo Tribune notes Wildrick's involvement in multiple speeding violations during the same period. One of the album's more striking photographs taken on December 19 1965 is a blurry color Polaroid of the speedometer of a 1966 Oldsmobile 442 going 110 miles per hour down US Highway 31. This same stretch of 31 would see Wildrick gravely injured and four others dead in a grisly two-car accident five years later in January of 1971. Sadly this would not be Wildrick's last serious accident as a similar collision on US Highway 35 would precipitate his own demise in 1986 at the age of 39. A fascinating and thorough album capturing a young man's coming-of-age in a car-centric family and more broadly allowing a personal glimpse into the golden age of the automobile in postwar America. 12.75 x 12.25 inches. Photographs ranging from Near Fine to Very Good plus with approximately 18 photographs lightly scuffed cracked toned and edgeworn. Album Very Good plus with light edgewear and scuffing on the boards. N.p. unknown
