Interesting array of lights. I have to laugh, when you fix a tire on you t to day, that is how it is. Lots of lookers. The fire wall looks quite weathered. 1913? Nice photo thanks.

Keep it simple and keep a good junk pile if you want to invent something :P

I do like the new format's ability to zoom in on the higher detail in the photos! I zoomed way in (300 percent!) on the higher detail image trying to read the license plate. I couldn't recognize what country the plate was from, however, I noticed another car in the background (looking through the crowd). Can't see much of it. However, from the lower profile of the body style, it appears to be about a 1930. That makes that late '12 touring car likely over fifteen years old at the time the picture was taken.
A wonderful photo! In so many ways.
Thanks all!

I have been trying to make sense of the license plate too. Perhaps some kind of cross country journey?
When did I do that?

The cop on the right side of the photo looks like Lt. Harris from the movie 'Police Academy'...
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes...
