The Northern Indiana collection consists of smaller prints than usual for some reason, but I think most of these images turned out pretty well. Almost all of them have good info on the back, which I've copied verbatim. (Updates from Art Peterson in italics)

Finally, I think this is hilarious. Just like Nick's Used Car Lot! Low miles on this beauty....
By the way, if you can't read it, the message painted on many of the South Bend city cars is as follows:
WARNING
THE LAW PROHIBITS
AUTOMOBILES
PASSING THE REAR
OF THIS CAR WHILE
STOPPED OR STOPPING
I would think that by the time a driver has read this message, it's probably too late!
Morning Randall - looked up the info on the two GK negs for the Simms CSB&NI coverage. The 578 was shot in South Bend on August 7, 1932. The 3/4 blindside of the 302 was taken in Michigan City on September 6, 1933. Hope that info helps, have a great holiday weekend, Art
