Pacific University student Melodie Johnson posing in costume on the running board of an antique car. She is wearing clothes from the "Gay 90s" annual city celebration, while the car is from the annual "Concours d'Elegance" classic car competition. This photograph was likely taken in 1973 to promote the car show. It was posed at the western entrance to campus at the intersection of 21st Avenue and College Way. Scott Library and Marsh Hall are visible in the background.
Possibly a Pacific University student, kneeling near cars, possibly in the University parking lot. This image was probably used by Pacific University as a publicity still.
Designed by Robert C.

Brown was later called the Mother Symbol of Oregon and was a co-Founder of Pacific University.

Black and white image of a couple standing next to a car, with two men sitting in the front of the car. The road is dirt, though a fence borders one side, and appears to run through a wooded area. This location is near the intersection of Laidlaw and Kaizer Roads and the newly renamed Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District's Hansen Ridge Park. According to museum records, the man driving is Henry Hamel, while the couple standing beside the car are Gus and Freda Erickson, Hamel's relatives. The REO Motor Car Company was one of the first to mass-produce automobiles in the United States, though it discontinued its automobile manufacturing to focus on trucks after 1936. They are most famous for their precursor to today's pickup trucks, the REO Speed Wagon light delivery truck.
Sepia-toned image of a group of people in a brass-era car. A man sits with one hand on the steering wheel; beside him is a dark-haired woman wearing a dark hat and a coat. She holds a bouquet and a small girl leaning against her lap. In the back seat are two more ladies, one wearing a large floral arrangement on her hat and sunglasses. The other lady wears a coat with a large fur collar and holds a fur muff. The car is parked on a grassy area, and a barn, a fence and part of a house are just visible behind it.
A view of 1st Avenue (21st Avenue) in Forest Grove facing towards College Way. A car is parked on the dirt road. There are paved sidewalks and wooden utility poles lining the street. A few men are standing in front of a store. Marsh Hall is visible at the end of the street.
Five cars are parked in front of the Forest Grove Garage. The cars appear to be from the very early Twentieth Century, most likely from 1900-1910. There are men seated in each car and other men are standing around watching. A sign on one of the storefronts reads 'O.A. Corl Forest Grove Garage. Bicycles.'
A car parked on the side of a road. The car looks to be an early to mid 1920s soft top, open car (phaeton). The road appears to be packed dirt and the picture is of a sweeping curve on an incline with guard posts lining the edge of the road on the right. Two single globe street lights are visible in the picture. A treed hillside is in the background.
