Strange... I was seeing it. I deleted it, uploaded it again, and I do see it. I guess this is solved.

It seems that the glitch was an uncomplete jpeg marker when I saved the file on my HD.
I repaired this for good.

I found this photo while looking for something completely different. I think it's a Kauneel trailer.

Caption reads;
"May 1936. "Messrs. Kaunitz, father and son, pioneers in auto trailers using yacht construction methods, steam-bending elm. Bay City, Michigan." And one of their swoopy-looking Kauneel trailers"

You got it, Craig.

Just in time, because I first found ye picture that uo posted, then went to the Library of Congress website where I got the puzzle picture. Here it is, uncropped.Recently, Shorpy posted it too, so my puzzle was bound to be solved soon. But you did it the hard way.

Thanks, but it wasn't hard work, just luck that I recognised the trailer in the photo.
