Description:: Photograph of a 1909 Oldsmobile Limited being driven on a street. The driver is a man wearing a shirt, jacket, pants and flat cap. He is seated behind a steering wheel that is situated on the right side of the vehicle. The luxury auto has a large wheel base and rides on massive spoke wheels. The tall chassis requires two running boards to climb into the car. A spare tire rests atop the lower running board and is attached to the driver side door with metal bars and straps. All trim, lantern side lights and headlights are probably brass (standard for this vehicle). License plate frame reads: “C. Stanlee Martin Long Beach.” License plate reads: “California World’s Fair 39 3Y954.” In the background, an electricity tower sits at the edge of a vacant lot, giving way to what looks like a residential neighborhood in the distance. Location unidentified, but possibly Long Beach (where the car’s owner worked and lived).
