Description
Photograph of an automobile float in the La Fiesta Parade, Los Angeles, ca.1906. The cabin and canopy of a small automobile has been decorated with flowers. Three people sit in it: A man in a dark suit, driving gloves and a hat, sits at the steering wheel, the wheel oddly turned away from him. A woman in a lightly-colored dress and large floral hat sits next to him. Behind them, a second woman in a lightly-colored dress sits, arranging lilies. The card on their float reads "Class Number K20". Victorian-style houses are visible in the background.
