Andy Crawford and Bill Manard in a c1907-1910 Packard Runabout or Model 30 Gentlemens Roadster. The car likely belonged to the driver Andy Crawford who may have added the decorative monogram to the front grill. The license plate indicates the car was registered in Illinois.
This image was featured as History Mystery #55 with the question "Andy Crawford and Bill Maynard were young, well-to-do and loved to be photographed ca 1910. What popular restaurant today occupies the building in the background of this photo?" and the solution "The building is the restored home of Toulouse Restaurant on the corner of Culver and Griffith."
This entry includes a second image, marked 1912, but the men's clothing suggests it is the same day as the Toulouse photo.Photograph Details
