Identification
Do you have any idea who the person identified as the "mechanic" is in your photo of Chevrolet at the wheel in Brooklyn, 1918? I think it may have been my grandfather, but I only have one picture of him, He reputedly worked as a mechanic with Chevrolet.
Thanks.

Sacre bleu!
Monsieur Chevrolet, he is indeed an impala, no?
Not Catchy Enough
See the USA in your Frontenac didn't catch on.
