That photo could certainly benefit from a little photo-enhancement.

Thanks Dave. Mal probably won't believe me when I say that the respect for the classical material made me think, it would be a sacrilege to change something.

Just a side note. The University of California Riverside (UCR) has one the largest photography museums in the country. Including one of the largest collections of vintage stereographic images in the world.

UCR is about 5 miles from my house.

These cars do appear to be described accurately as seventh series models, but why are the photos dated September 23, 1927? The seventh series didn't debut until August of 1929 at the earliest.

Quote:

Moreover 1929 is written on every flipside. Every record is silently corrected.
