The third seat works fine. I prefer to drive.
It's great to see Speedsters in Idaho. However, I suspect that is competition from another state.

Idaho and the state appeared on the right hand side of the license plate. I would believe that is a Montana plate.
(Idaho 1927 plates had it at the bottom.)
I like the photo.
Thanks

I like to storage spot for the spare tire, it appears the body is a work in progress.

Thanks much for the detail, Rich ! The photo resolution isn't great, I never thought to examine the license plate. Note on the photo said 1927, but I'm always a bit suspicious of them. Often they are off by many years compared to solid clues like the cars present and visible plates.

If it is a Montana plate the dash between numerals would likely be a 1926. That would put it close to '27.
It would surely be fun to know the story.

That could be a public roadway, but it looks suspiciously smooth. Perhaps it's a race track. (?)

Actually, the notes stated it was on a new highway under construction. There was a flagman in the picture but I cropped him so as to see the T better.
