Re: Women chauffeurs of the American Fund for French Wounded repairing car. Dec. 1918
John,
Thank you for posting the photo and especially for posting the link where you found it. That will make finding additional information much easier for anyone that wants to look.
I suspect the photo is staged. Today most people have a cell phone and can take a photo anytime or anywhere. But back then or for that matter in most of the 20th Century folks would not walk around with a camera ready to snap a photo. Also – working on a car with a white long sleeve blouse/shirt – it would normally show dirt after a few minutes of car maintenance. And most of the photos I’ve taken of car maintenance were staged – it is easier to get a good photo that way.
I believe the body was supplied by an outside body maker. And note that the cowl and windshield are similar to the photo of an American Fund for French Wounded brass radiator T you posted at: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=32119
And is shown below:
And below compares the two cowl sections. Note also the windshield hinge that appears to be about the same as a standard T – but mounted so the windshield can fold forward.
Again, thank you for posting it.
Respectfully submitted,
