This was sent to me and thought it was too cool not to share. Apologies if it has already been posted.

Very nice! Hope the kid knows how to handle a delicate cylinder! Thanks for posting!

Wonderful picture! They don't come much better than this.

Thanks for sharing the picture.

Really cool picture! Does anyone know the approximate location of where this was photographed?

I like the driver's straw hat. Mine is newer--a 1920s-30s one, three layers of fresh straw-smelling hat goodness. They are like the ultimate To Go box for the cranium, look absolutely smashing, and are a delightful mix of formal and relaxed.

But if you tilt it too far over, you might look like a reject from The Music Man!

I had to get a new boater hat. Everybody had such small heads back then! None of the old ones fit me. Either that or I have an abnormally large head.

I wonder if that horse is still alive

Mine's getting a bit shabby inside, so I may have to get a new one as well.
