Laurel and Hardy with a Studebaker President. They did not make many records, but this one for Columbia recorded during their visit to the UK in 1932 is much sought after by collectors :

Re: Stars and Cars
Brewster created this remarkable body for fairly plebian Ford cars, for those who wanted a simple Ford drivetrain with outlandish coachwork. I've seen a few in person, and they're dazzling.

Didn't Brewster make the bodies for the Model A Fords?

Edison poses with yet another electric car, this time a Detroit looking rather like a mobile china cabinet. If he was working today, Edison would probably have solved the battery problems which still limit the range of electric cars.

Re: Stars and Cars
This photo gives me an excuse to resurrect a thread which I started almost three years ago.
I don't know who the lady is, but she is attracting the attention of two tenors. Martinelli is pinching her nose and Caruso is pinching her ear. At least it is not her posterior, he would have to get out of the car to do that......
Who is the serious looking gentleman on the extreme left? Hopefully not the lady's husband.

^ Facially the lady resemble Geraldine Farrar, although maybe a little too heavyset.
