    The roads were tough back in the day.... here's a receipt from some tire protectors that my great grandpa bought nearly 100 years ago! Also attached is a scan of the first style automobile license issued by the state of Washington (issued for this car). And lastly... the bill of sale from his purchase of the 1910 Everitt these items were from....and to round it off a picture of the car.

    I have the side lights off from this car as well as the first four steel license plates issued to the car starting in 1916.

    Anybody venture a WAG at the year this was shot?
    T-Head, I dig this one of an early proto-hotrodder.
    Appears the phase on the hood also heads the
    statement on the side of the car -- "Just Married"?
    If so, the statement on the side seems to say,
    "Just Married. May be old. But I still get HOT."
    Am I reading it right?

    Right you are about the Bay State, T-Head. Assembled cars
    which ran Continental engines. They were thought to be
    EXTINCT, then ONE turned up, in Maine & it's been restored.

    Tee, if this car could talk, it would just
    GROAN! What a load. Any notes on the
    back as to when and where taken?

    Tee, the miniature car was for real and still exists today.
    SunRooFCord has some knowledge of the details. The
    little people are NOT kids but adult circus folk.

    An early unknown make....It does look similar to a Knox but the chassis details are different.
