[Leica] IMG: Ira's PESO - 2009 Newport Beach Concours d'Elegance

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Ira,

I always enjoy your vintage car photos.  I showed these to my wife, because 
her grandfather owned a 1930 Auburn Roadster.  She can recall riding with 
him and holding the steering wheel while he lit his pipe.  He used it to 
pull a trailer which contained living quarters and a direct-positive photo 
studio, and they worked fairs from Wisconsin to Mississippi during the 
1930s.  At that time it stopped for oil more frequently than for gasoline.
