Notes
I love these old cars. This is from the Dewitt family album, and is captioned “our first oldsmobile, near Parkdale.”

Those are quite the fenders………..

The Olds is about a 1907 vintage automobile.

Thats what I thought about the fenders! Like Dumbo ears. With most roads being dirt they must have been pretty important.

Novel fenders and a rag for a spare, that tire has seen better days.
I did not know Olds made right hand drive cars. I prefer chain drive cars but still admire any with wood spoke wheels.
