Topic: 4-Part - Ernest Frank Model T Mr. Ford White House '38

For one point: Who is that guy, what kind of car is that, when was the picture taken, and why was he there?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

The car, a Ford Model T, and the location, the White House in Washington DC, USA, are easy, but the other requirements are a bit more obscure.  However, after some digging, I located the story in an old article in the Washington Post.

The car is a 1921 Ford Model T, whose driver (and owner – a retired baker), Ernest Franke, is driving around the White House driveway, trying to show off his beloved car to Henry Ford, who was there visiting President Roosevelt in 1938.
