Classic Car For Sale, Only $360!
The top photo shows William Bertron Campbell, in his Army uniform, sitting in the front seat of a 1915 Ford Model T Runabout. The year would have been ca. 1918, as he enlisted on December 6, 1917 and was discharged in March of 1919. During the war he was stationed at a hospital in Secaucus, New Jersey.
The second photo is James Vincent Campbell and family, sons Maynard and James, and wife Mollie. Again the car is a Ford, probably a Model T Touring. The occasion is probably the funeral of Francis Marion Steele in 1925.
Lastly, there is a bill of sale for a 1916 Ford Model T Touring car to William Elbert Campbell. Only $360. William Elbert was the father of William Bertron Campbell, and he married the daughter of James Vincent Campbell.
