    A dapper looking gentleman in his fur coat with a very rare Revere which features a Rochester-Duesenberg engine.

    Another cut down machine I'd gladly afford garage space. The pennant reads "Cole" but I'm not sure this is a Cole (did they make chain drives)? The dapper dudes inside the saloon no doubt wish they could trade places with these guys.

    One for followers overseas. These guys (who look like they might be brothers) are ready to roll, windscreens folded flat. Makes?

    This is quite the California crew with the gentleman on the left dressed looking like he is a welder. This might have been his photo judging by the scorch marks on it....

    A couple more Model T's. I'll try to get away from them soon. The first is a 1911 Torpedo in Nebraska, the other looks like an Australian-bodied 1911.

    On the opposite end of the spectrum from Model T's are a couple of Americans. The first is an Undeslung the second is not (shows 1909 PA license plate).

    "Hey, no texting!" This is actually the rolling office of Gordon J. Gordon, in his Chalmers. It looks like the messenger is about to take a typed communication and pedal it away as soon as GJG is done proof reading. His secretary appears to be onto the next task already. (NYPL photo)
