My camera simply couldn't handle the brightness of this postcard-- the intense red made it struggle to focus. I had to add a filter, as seen in pic two, to make it focus better.
But, this is the brightest postcard I've ever seen. At only 75 cents (due to severe damage as seen,) I had to pick it up. The brilliant red automotive and brass headlamps drew me in.
Another interesting thing is on the back: "Hope you don't meet any of those animals that scared Mr. [I cannot read it.]"
Anyone know the make and model?
What an absolutely beautiful, hand crafted auto !!! Do we have a make for it ?
Blunderbuss, I make it mine! Hahaha. :P
Get yourself a scanner they are pretty cheap. I just got a new scanner and it makes posting much easier and better.
The lithography company here did a good job of redoing the photo, hovever it could be reduced a lot better in photoshop these days.
fortapache is right, a scanner would help. Once you have one you never would go back to not having one. Might be a good one on the cheap internet sites and maybe the owner would install for you.
It looks to be a Cleveland.

Sweet! WANT!!!
You dun good Trey ! I think the Cleveland. Sure is a long tube for a horn.
I do alright with photography in most cases. But thanks for the tip on the scanner.
I agree with the Cleveland. I saw two others of this card online, postmarked 1909 and 1910.
Thanks for the help and comments. :)
Nope - it's the Peerless. Look at the box on the running board.
The Cleveland doesn't even have a running board. GREAT cars, though! WHEN I win the lottery.....
OK Celiene, I bend ! Peerless !
Got a bottle for that (Peerless Creamery.) LOL.
Do you nee an address to send it to ?
I'll drive over in my fire-engine red Peerless. :)
I'll meet you half way in my British racing green Auburn.
And I'm sure that has much better fuel efficiency. LOL.
You think ? Well, we still have to on a bridge anyway. 1,200 mi. is a long bridge ! That's just to Key West !!
I could vacation down in Florida right now. :P
Come to Florida I got a spare room:) I need a babysitter LOL!!!
LOL! Either way - they are STUNNING cars! I love that there are still living examples!
Nice try, Trey. :P
I agree, Celiene. :)
