Mal, thanks for the link, good images, even in color.

The next chapter brings to mind a question, open for 8 years.

To identify the passenger in the backseat of the below shown 1934 Packard touring car let's listen to Wikipedia:
"Yasuhito, Prince Chichibu (秩父宮雍仁親王, Chichibu-no-miya Yasuhito Shinnō, 25 June 1902 – 4 January 1953), was the second son of Emperor Taishō (Yoshihito) and Empress Teimei (Sadako), a younger brother of Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito) and a general in the Imperial Japanese Army."
