Sun Motor Tester at Son Motors …
This is another image that I ran through the Lucis Art Filter and it really makes it stand out. A straight b&w photo is interesting, but does not have the contrast and detail that this print has now. I do not have much to add … Thanks for looking … Frank
Son Motors …
Here is another image that I found in another ” Son Motors ” negative envelope. After cleaning it up in Photoshop, it looked good but nothing too interesting. So I ran it through a Lucis Art Filter to bring out all of the detail under the car, the brick wall, the attendant’s uniform and the equipment along the back wall. I think that it gives images like this a different look and feel and makes the image more interesting to look at. As usual, I have no clue who the man is. I have several more images that I have put this effect on that I am going to post in the near future, so please check back. Thanks for looking … Frank
Son Motors …
Son Motors is on the right hand side of this image, next to Muldon Motor Company. I personally do not remember Sons Motors in downtown Pensacola, since they were around in the 1950’s and I was born in 1953. The photo above I have posted before, but it is the only exterior view I have of Son Motors and I just wanted to re-post it so you can see where it was located. The rest are all interior views and are ones that I do not believe I have posted before. Below is a view that I have just recently worked on …
I do not know if this was their showroom or not or if this was their garage converted to a showroom for these cars to be displayed in. From another angle …
The sign above the car reads, “Imperial 1956 “. Below is another view …
This lady is in several of the photos and I do not know who she is … maybe one of the owners or could even be their daughter?
These could be the owners … someone told me that their last name was ” Son “, but I have never heard that name before. And finally, here is one of their work trucks.
Nice looking truck! Notice the phone number on the side: HE 2-7191 … the HE stood for Hemlock, then later changed to ” 43 ” when Southern Bell when to all numbers. I never understood why they used a word for the first two digits on your phone number … maybe they just thought it was easier to remember. I have a few more interior views from this negative envelope that I will work-up and post later. If anyone remembers Son Motors, please let us hear from you. Thanks for looking …
