What is it?
Don Risen from California sends on a photo that came 'from a friend'. He adds that it is  a "1913 photo from somewhere in Washington, D.C."  A brandnew Roadster passing a policemen amoured against the elements and a Stop & Go sign over the umbrella. Now a word like 'somewhere' always triggers us. A short search brought us in front of the Treasury Department .... and at the other side of the same car! (amazing website that is showing you 100 years of difference with a mouse operated curtain). This still doesn't give us the answer which car it is.  Now we may be very wrong, but the sleek line of bonnet and cowl plus the electric lights give the impression the car is younger than 1913, more like 1918-19. Also, there is another car in the background. Can we help Don?
