Great pics! In the first picture I wonder where they were all heading out to all duded up like that? A fox hunt? Shotgun start on the golf course?

The first picture has a lot of flags and banners. I suspect it is a holiday. maybe even before a parade starts. I was born in the 1930's but some of the sights had not changed much by then. No big change until WW2 because the depression stopped a lot of changes and then the war, stopped making new cars or buildings. So didn't really see much change until the late 1940's and 1950's.

Is that pic third from the end of the '23 Runabout reversed? It could be a RHD model but the numbers on the plate look backwards.

I don't see any hinges on the door, so my vote is for "reversed".

I don't see any steering column on the right side and looks like the numbers on the rear plate are correct also no tail light on right side. I am thinking it is the way the sun is shining on the door that the hinges are not seen.

The roadster appears to have a Canadian horn button mounted on the steering wheel nut. If it is a Canadian car, it should have a door on that side too, but no?

I think that Runabout looks much happier reversed. I notice it has some changes from factory standard including the radiator cap, steering wheel, paint & a very nifty spare tire (tyre if its really RHD?) carrier that fits the lines of the turtledeck better than the standard one. I'd like to find one of those!
