The photo was printed from the original negative which I was loaned by the owner (of the neg.) several years ago. The "U" designation on the NJ licesne plate was for Union County. Car was owned by some of the Bowman family who had a country residence near Branchburg, NJ. The house is still there although the surrounding area has been built up. Since you enjoy vintage photos perhaps this one will be useful. - Jim Pearsall

This scan was made by me from a print I had made from the original negative borrowed from the Branchburg, NJ Historial Society.The car belonged to members of the Bowman family, some of whom lived in a very elegant residence in Branchburg, NJ. The photo was published some years ago in one of those Arcadia photo books. The letter designation U on the license plate was for Union County, NJ. - Jim Pearsall
