Scope and content
Dwight Howell, behind the wheel of a new Ford convertible from Titus Motor Company, is not receiving a ticket. He has just been honored for being a top student driver. In March of 1941, Ford Motor Co. started the Ford Good Driver League. They worked with police and public safety organizations to encourage traffic safety and good driving habits. This photograph was taken in front of the Public Safety Building at 621 Pacific Avenue. The man at the far left is probably Tacoma Chief of Police Einer Langseth. Howell went on to win the Washington State Finals and represent Washington at the Nationals in August, 1941. The 17 year old Howell graduated from Stadium High School in the Spring of 1941.
