  • Okay, I may be pushing the limits a bit with this photo, but considering the Studebaker-Packard-Mercedes relationship I thought I would post this. The really interesting thing is who is in the Gullwing. The driver is the owner of the the 300SL, a Mr. Duncan and British photographer. The gentleman next to the passenger side door is Pablo Picasso and in the middle is his wife Jacqueline Roque.

          • 8733, have you ever noticed in old time photos that people rarely smiled, take a look at the young man on the far right with the nice big smile, makes the rest of the group look like a typical gathering of grumpy old Studebaker owners.

              The snowman is smiling. Sure wish I had that wagon.
              They aren't smiling because they have to stand out in the cold and snow. The older I get, the more I hate winter.

                Besides some people not liking to pose for photos, (Me for example) in the old days by the time everyone was in place and the photographer got the camera ready, you just wanted it to be over. Many people are squinting in old photos because they usually were placed facing the sun.
