Wordless Wednesday - Cleage Family Out for a Ride

Barbara, Albert Jr, Gladys, Anna, Mother Pearl and Father Albert about 1928.

 So much for wordless Wednesday.  My Aunt Gladys sends word by her daughter  that "It was a Lincoln, could fit all nine plus a dog or two, the second row faced the back and the back row faced the front. she's not sure where the photo was taken. it is big ain't it! must be the precursor to the limo!  She doesn't think it's Bell Isle, and it's not Athens(TN). She thinks it might be the Meadows, that's the only place with the trees and all the grass. Barbara looks like a miniature flapper!

Do all 6 people fit in the car?

It looks like a pretty big car. Maybe there were three rows of seats. I will ask some who were there and report back. Also, you have to remember that there were no seatbelts or rules about how many could sit in the back seat. Three could sit in the front and as many as could squeeze in could sit in the back. I remember riding from Detroit to Idlewild (a 4 hour trip) in the 1950's sitting at least part of the way on the floor because there were so many people in the car.

That is my aunt Barbara. At 89 she still has a great sense of style.
