The second car from the left is a 1916 Overland Model 83B 5 or 7-passenger touring car. The third car from left is a 1916 Hudson Super Six 5 or 7-passenger phaeton. The last car on the right is probably a 1912 Cadillac 7-passenger touring car. In 1940 the phone number for Southwest Motor Company was 51-2.
