My Father's Art Work---Page 7

Dream Car - Dream Home

by Adelard Daniel Poirier 1924

     This was a sample of the talent my father had in commercial art.  I believe he could have done well in that line of work.

My father liked big four-door sedans, like the Willys-Knight.  The last car he owned was a 1927 Willys Knight four-door, 8-passenger sedan, maroon body with black trim.  The big car  had  comfortable  front and rear bench seats, and two “jump seats’ for children that folded out from the back of the front seat.

     The use of the car stopped some time after I was born, as the great depression got worse.  My father never drove the car again, and he could not afford  another car in his lifetime.
