Why, that is Calvin Coolidge, President of the U.S. from 1923-29 and Vice President under Warren G. Harding. Coolidge assumed the presidency upon Harding's death and was re-elected in 1924. He was from Vermont and his wife lived until 1957 (he died in 1933). As a kid, I was a student of various presidents!Bill Pressler

Jim, thanks. I'm full of useless information like that, none of which can make me any money or help me work on an old car! LOLBill Pressler

The military man in the back is NOT Pershing. Bio states he retired in 24.
Dick do you think a google image search may find other Internet photos containing the structure behind the car? May be clue as to WHERE.

The first name that came to my mind was Wally Cox! I did know he would have been too young to be the person so my next guess was Silent Cal.Don Wilson, Centralia, WA
