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.
