Here is my great grandfather’s car. The pictures were taken in Woodland California in 1914. I believe the car is a 1910 Overland. My Grandmother is in the back seat next to her mother. The child sitting on my great grandmother’s lap is my great-aunt Marge that celebrated her 100th birthday last year.
