Description
Photographic postcard of a flower-decked car ready for a parade, ca.1915. A car covered in fuzzy looking flowers from top to bottom stands on a dirt road in the center while five women sit inside the roofless car. The women wear lightly colored Victorian style dresses with elegant hairdos. A house is visible in the background while what seems to be a garage can be seen on the right. Back of photoprint reads "Aunt Sara [...]ttey of Santa Ana California and her two daughters in their Auto. It took first prize in a parade".
