IMAGINE DRIVING IN SUCH STYLE IN 1923

After the 1916 Paige Detroit, Tom Lyle, bought this exquisite looking automobile, I'm guessing, between.  I've been told, it's not a Packard, because it doesn't have the ox-yoke radiator design.  Any suggestions? 

Tom Lyle standing on the left, his partner Emery Shaver sitting on the ground. Not sure who the lady is next to TL, but his sister Eva, (in black,) and her husband  Ches Haines, are on the right.  The fashion dates this picture between 1921 and 1925.

The fashion dates this picture around 1925.  Tom Lyle's brother Noel J. is on the far right, while their sister, Eva, is the second lady on the left.  The automobile looks custom made, like all of TL's cars.  Any suggestions from my car guy readers, please email me at maybellinebook@gmail.com.

Check in tomorrow for another one of Tom Lyle Williams, outstanding classic automobiles.   

Gerald Ford's, 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine, part of Bill Williams collection.

Bill Williams moved to Old Las Palmas in Palm Springs, in 1972 and bought Silent Film Star Marie Dressler's, two acre estate so he could store his car collection.  One of my fathers most fun classic cars was this 1961 Limo, once owned by President Gerald Ford.

Bill Williams, Casa de Guillermo was a showplace in the 1970's and was featured on the cover of the Palm Springs, official Map-Brochure.  It was a flamboyant location, used for movies, TV shows and fundraising.  

By 1980, after Bill married Gloria, the gates of Casa de Guillermo, were closed to the public and became strictly a family compound.

Besides Maybelline heir, Bill Williams, Hollywood celebrities and former Presidents including, Kirk Douglas and Bob Hope, former President Gerald Ford, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Elvis Presley, made Palm Springs their home.

Bill may not have been a Movie Star, or even a celebrity, but he sure lived like one.  He bought Gerald Ford's, 1961 Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine in 1978, for it's history, luxurious interior, and the little holes on the hood, where he could place little American Flags, for special events. 

 It wasn't unusual for Bill and Gloria to cruise down Gerald Ford Drive, with their Dobermans in the back seat.
