This is a post card from Springfield, MO 1913. It is after the city square caught fire. Of interest are the THREE electric cars in the forground.
Could they be Studebakers?

They look very much like the Studebaker electric that one of our members has.

I had to enlarge that one to be sure. It looks like a 2R, but something about the side boards and rear bumpers seem to distort the appearance.

I'm surprised no one has commented yet about the girl-on-bicycle in #3523. I thought several people would recognize her.

She looks familiar but I was just writing that off due to how beautiful she is.

I thought it was Kim Novak when I 1st looked at it.

It is definitely a Studebaker pickup, but newer than a 2R. The rear window is too large for a 2R.

Re: 3523, is that a Gabor sister?

The white convertible in the background has a French license plate. The driver of the Studebaker should have his eyes on the road, or will soon have a bicyclist for a hood ornament. I wonder who the lady is --- everyone in the photo is looking at her.

I went back through some C cab pictures. The back window is not wide enough for the later trucks.
