With Belles On: 1918
San Francisco, 1918. "Buick roadster at agency." The ideal conveyance for madcap motoring. 5x7 inch glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size.
Seen this spot before?
Looks like this is the same location as the "Bicoastal Buick" seen earlier. Which, according to Crocker-Langley, makes this the Howard Automobile Co, at the corner of Van Ness and California streets, which makes it here:
Ladies on the move
During these early days of the automobile a lot of pictures from San Francisco promoting new cars invariably feature women at the wheel. How revolutionary that women in 1918 were seen as independent but yet unable to vote until 1920.
Looks Like
A detachable hardtop. A fairly rare item I'd wager today.
