Going through stacks of photos from my great-grandma (she apparently loved photos), I found this interesting car. I know the photos aren't great, there isn't a full shot unfortunately. The back of the photos are dated 28 June 1934, McGill Photo Finishing Services. The license plate looks like it says LA and I know she lived in New Orleans but I'm not sure when, although I believe it was after 1934. 1930 and 1940 census has her in Mobile, AL and she was married in Washington DC Dec of 1935. The wing reads "Orange" and then something that starts "PA" over something that starts "GA". The photo where the boy is looking in the window with the bike wheel, has some writing on the side. I will try to decipher and update. I've been trying to identify the car in the photo but haven't had any luck so far.
As a side note, the other picture has the same date and may have been taken at the same time and place. Or it may not.
It's a little too dark but the side of the car has "M" and underneath I believe begins "GAH". On that middle panel, there is a rectangle of some sort and might say " made by Briggs" under.
Correction, looks like it might say, "body by Briggs". And, the Pan-Am decal the kid is covering up, there is another on the building in the same photo.
