  • Detroit MI
""Just as it had been Edsel's [Edsel Ford] idea to buy Lincoln to give the company an elegant car to match GM's Cadillac, so in the midthirties, as Ford's competitive position continued to slip, he tried to get a part of the middle-priced market through the Zephyr. The Zephyr began as the Briggs Manufacturing Company ""dream car."" which Edsel saw in prototype at the 1933 automobile show. He was excited by it, having wanted for some time a car in price and quality between the Ford and the Lincoln. He bought the rights from Briggs and then brought in Eugene T. Gregorie, a former boat designer, to carry out his vision of a sleek auto for the middle-class buyer."" - “The Fords: An American Epic” by Peter Collier and David Horowitz, p. 158-159 - illustration #40 - 1987 Apparently design direction worked both ways. ""The design (above the water line) of speed boats of the 30's, 40's and 50's was influenced by automobile design of that era."" - Interview with Charles Morrill - 10/20/08 Morrill - Charles Barrett Morrill (1934-) ""Bink was obsessed with Lincoln Zephyr cars. He stove up three within two weeks. They all had this streamlined look."" - Interview with Ralph Stanley October 20, 2008 A photograph of the Lincoln Zephyr that is supremely evocative of the design era that influenced Bink Sargent appears in “Photographs from the Collection of the Gilman Paper Company,” curated by Pierre Apraxine, with plates by Richard Benson, and notes to the plates by Lee Marks. 480 pp. 199 plates and a frontispiece.

  • Smallidge - Sarah Louise (Lawler) Smallidge or Helen Nathalie (Turner) Smallidge
  • 1930 c.
  • Mount Desert, Northeast Harbor
Robert Sr., known in the family as "Lindsay," was a craftsman. The vessel in the center, on the back step, was a model of the "Falucca," a lateen rigged pirate ship. "All Lindsay’s models were made from scratch, frequently from plans he had found in periodicals, or purchased from a supply house. Sometimes when he didn’t have plans, but was asked to make a model by the owner of a sailboat, he took photos and measurements of the boat in the water and drew his own plans. Lindsay made many things including: sleds, hunting knives, hatchets, crooked knives, canes, chests, weather vanes, half model sailboats, full model sail boats, water line models, dioramas etc.
