Photograph of Mat Everhardy posing for a photograph as he sits behind the wheel of his Stearns-Knight car. His hands rest upon the wheel. He is wearing a jacket and a fedora. The car itself occupies the lower third of the photograph and is only partially visible. The front of the vehicle is oriented to the right. The driver's side of the car appears to be on the right side of the car, not the left as Mat sits facing right and is on the side closest to the camera. Some sort of fabric appears to be sitting in a pile in the rear passenger seat. On the exterior of the car, right beneath Mat, there is what looks like a tire. The front and rear wheels of the car extend beyond the frame on the lower right and left corners, respectively. Some huts are visible in the background behind the vehicle.
