ShawnLancaster Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Here's a nice quest - any ideas what the cars are? I was able to blow up the image for the Buick in the background. From a post card dated 1909. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lump Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I wonder who the dignitaries in the first car are too. I notice military uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnLancaster Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 I tried to make it a bit clearer - you may be correct. See if I'm a bit crazy here.... Left to right: 1) William Taft ?(former President) 2) Jacob Dickinson? (Secretary of War under Taft) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_M._Dickinson (Luke Edward Wright seemed to only have a much longer mustache). 3) Theodore Roosevelt? 4) ? Jon Hay? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
