An exceedingly scarce original dealer’s salesman sample photo showroom album for General Motors Heavy Duty trucks during the depths of the Great Depression documenting the operations trucks and customers of the L.P. Mohler Co. in Santa Ana CA. The dealership and service department was located at 302 French St. in Santa Ana and originally began life as the building for the Baker Electric Car dealership before becoming a truck specialist. Mohler 1890-1940 began working as a service mechanic in the GMC truck outlet before 1930 and by 1931-32 had become the owner and operator. Several of these GMC truck designs reflected the streamline Art Deco styling of Harley Earl which emerged from the 1933-1934 Century of Progress automotive and truck designs. Trucks depicted in the photos include the T-51-H T-23-C 2nd Series T-16 T-16-B T-18-B and the T-33-A GMC heavy trucks including flatbeds dump trucks beer trucks stave trucks and more. At the time Mohler contracted with Custombilt Trailer Manufacturing in Los Angeles and United Auto works in Whittier CA to produce their more specialized variations and myriad of trailers for their customers. Many of the trucks & trailers bear the advertisements and advertising logos for such companies as Apache Freight Lines Arizona-Pacific Motor Freight Lines Barr Lumber co. Bohemian Beer Central Lemon Assoc. Goldberg Film Delivery Lines Famous Department Stores Irvine Valencia cab-over truck fleet Kraft’s Miracle Whip Salad Dressing Pepsi-Co Rocket Gasoline Shell Oil Sunfreze Ice Cream Trucks from Arden Dairy and others. The paint sample sheet indicates the dealership offered such colours as Boatswain Blue Brewster Green Apple Green Orange Yellow Maroon GMC Morat Green and Black. Sometime in the late 1930’s Mohler returned to become a fruit grower in Mercedes TX and died in 1940 just prior to his 50th birthday from an unspecified back illness. His building was purchased in 1966 by Bill Lauer and began an auto restoration business specializing in Packards. Now owned and operated by Robert Escalante it has become the oldest continually operating automotive restoration shop on the West Coast.

1920234641920. Commercial truck photo archive documenting motorized industrial transport in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s when businesses increasingly replaced horse-drawn delivery and rail-dependent local hauling with branded gasoline-powered fleets. The archive records commercial vehicles serving construction suppliers rubber companies bakeries grocers oil and tire service firms newspapers appliance companies and regional contractors across the East Coast and Midwest. These trucks made modern urban and industrial labor faster more mobile and more visible carrying company names through city streets while linking factories job sites warehouses and consumer markets.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 40 large silver gelatin photographs each 8 x 10 inches United States circa 1920s-1930s. Trucks appear posed outside dealerships factories quarries service garages storefronts and company buildings with visible signage for businesses including Quaker Rubber Corporation Needham's Motor Service Liebman's General Electric Capparrell Construction Co. Charleston Daily Mail Carter Berkeley Co. and General Tire & Rubber Co. Vehicles include dump trucks panel delivery trucks refrigerator service trucks construction supply trucks newspaper delivery vehicles and commercial vans many with painted company lettering and product advertising. Several images appear staged for catalogue or promotional use showcasing staged vehicle bodies dump beds fleet arrangements chassis design cargo capacity and business-specific customization.<br /> <br /> The archive shows how trucking became a defining technology of interwar American industry especially for construction retail distribution and service labor that required movement beyond fixed rail lines. By the 1920s and 1930s commercial fleets allowed contractors to move sand gravel tools and materials directly to expanding roads suburbs and building sites while branded delivery trucks turned transportation into public advertising. The repeated construction and supply vehicles make the archive especially strong for documenting the equipment behind Depression-era and New Deal-period building roadwork and urban maintenance.

This collection includes 1 a family photo album depicting Selden circa 1885; 2 a carte-de-visite of Selden circa 1871; 3 three handsome mounted albumen photographs circa 1910 presumably depicting Selden cars; 4 a later photograph of a Selden motor truck; 5 a photostat copy of a legal illustration "Comparative Scale Drawings of Selden Vehicle"; and 6 a 1920 company pamphlet titled "Yesterday Today Tomorrow." The photo album 1 contains 18 cartes-de-visite showing men women and children identified by name in a contemporary hand in ink; family names include Woodruff Tomlinson Sayre Drake Rogers and -- of course -- Seldon.

The mounted albumen photos 3 range in size from 5.75x7.5 to about 7.5x9.5 inches in excellent condition on heavy dark grey mounts with wide margins; showing a couple or a group of gents in Selden cars; it is charminging to see onlookers peering from the windows of the building in the background.

Engine of Selden and of Brayton Otto Otto-Langen and Lenoir; showing single- and 3-cylinder engines and listing the weight speed and horsepower of the engine. The company pamphlet 6 offers of 4 different Selden trucks plus text. <br/><br/>George Baldwin Selden 1846-1922 invented an early lightweight combustion engine intended for use in a four-wheeled vehicle and applied for a patent in 1879. This gives him some claim to be the inventor of the automobile. The patent went through years of legal challenges before being granted in 1895 and then faced further decades of lawsuits from Henry Ford and others eventually suffering defeat in 1911. In the meantime he launched the Selden Motor Vehicle Company in 1905 moving into truck manufacture after his patent defeat. Selden trucks are shown in the aformentioned pamphlet "Yesterday Today Tomorrow." hardcover
