Description
Photograph of an automobile decorated with flowers for the La Fiesta Parade, ca.1906. Two men sit in front, in what appear to be navy uniforms, while two women sit in back with parasols. The car is decorated with lightly colored roses along its running boards, with darker roses in other areas. Odd pom-pom bursts of flowers extend like trees from the car's four corners. Victorian-style houses are visible in the background. The sign attached to the car reads "A 17". Picture File card reads: "Shriners in decorated car.".
