According to reader Neil Young, his “Great Uncle Maxwell Jasper Green and his two brothers were adventurers and dabbled in the latest interests of the day; photography, cars, and airplane and auto salvaging. They had an automobile service shop in Euclid, Ohio. My grandmother told me they were among the first, if not the first, on the East side of Cleveland to have a junk yard”.

The photo above and the two enlargements below show the inside of the garage. It’s the first of half a dozen very interesting photos we have to share with you showing the operation along with some very unique automobiles they were associated with. Seen here are two cars both of which are mysteries to us.

The little speedster seen on the left-side of the shop is quite interesting. We will show you another photo of this car in the near future, so in the meantime perhaps this rear-end view will get you thinking about it’s origin.

The car in the center is a bit of a made-up oddball. The chassis has it’s original straight tube front axle behind a chain-drive rear axle used for moving purposes. It’s wearing a circa 1906 Cadillac cowl and hood assembly that has clearly been adapted to it as the Cadillac uses and entirely different springing arrangement for it’s chassis. Let us know if you can help identify this pair of cars and stay tuned to see more great photos courtesy of Neil Young. You’ll find many more pages of garages and repair shops previously posted on The Old Motor.
