On the road to Brock's Garage in 1923, Trenton, New Jersey

It's 1923, and it's a nice day for a drive, so I thought that we could take my Autocar to Trenton, New Jersey. This photo, by the way, is on the Duke University site ROAD (Resource of Outdoor Advertising Descriptions) because they study historic advertising, but I'm only interested in time-traveling. Ride along with me!


You can have your ordinary Buick, or Cadillac, I'll take my Autocar! And it looks like there's a place in Trenton that services them. I think I'll get some new tires, maybe a battery. Let's see, they're at Canal Street at State. And they're always open, which is handy!


Maybe we should stop at that Sunoco station and get some gas before we go any further. How much money do you have? A quarter? Yeah, that should be enough for now.

The trusty Autocar is running just fine, and it'll be even better after the service at Brock's!
