It looks very much like the Selden automobile. Was this taken during the Henry Ford trial?

LOCKED for you!

It is the Selden (replica) car, indeed.

I have to check the exact event when I´ll be back from work.

Hi Pal.

To be honest I was not able to find the book I´ve used to scan thism picture.

And unfortunately I´ve not given the picture a name that tells more than it is a Selden replica.

The original unclipped photo shows some ca. 1905-1914 cars at the right side I can remember.

I´ll give you the point in any case...

Hopefully I´ll find the whole information again  :bag:

Well, that's why I said "Ford trial". I believe this photo was taken at an event where it had to be proved that Selden had a fully functioning and working automobile
