A learning experience.

This is one of my favorite Shorpy pictures, even without a train. A classic with everything. A car with front plates with double numbers, a policeman writing a ticket, very classy billboards, and cars that show why we call that storage space "the trunk."

Thanks for posting this one. Now I will look some more.
