Scope and content
With Mount Rainier as a majestic backdrop, members of the Horseless Carriage Club of America, dressed in authentic styles of long ago pose for a portrait on July 18, 1958. Several early model American cars are parked behind them. They were taking part in the 11th annual national Western Caravan. This particular group met earlier at the Capitol (Legislative) Building in Olympia before taking in the sights of Mount Rainier and Paradise Inn. 100 vintage automobiles, all 1915 and older, were involved in the four-day gathering. Five local horseless carriage buffs participated in the Western Caravan. From the Tacoma area, B. Terry Payson drove a 1915 Ford touring car, Steve Davison his 1910 Reo touring car, N. Earl Davison, a 1909 Stoddard-Dayton touring car, Ben Shandrow a 1909 Wilson touring car and Mrs. Alberta Shandrow, her 1913 Buick touring car. Gas consumption on Caravan members' vehicles range from 9-34 mpg. (Photograph taken for the Richards Studio.) (TNT 7-1-58, A-3)
