Photograph appears with the article, "Turn-of-Century Car Still Runs, Saving Plenty," Los Angeles Times, 13 Mar 1936: A1. Mr. Hubbard stands at the front of the vehicle while Mrs. Lacey climbs in the other side and Mr. Harris inspects a headlight. Text from newspaper caption: Six speeds ahead but not much speed has this old two-cylinder horseless carriage which chugged at fifteen miles an hour from Santa Cruz.
