For one point: what car is that, and who is the driver?

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

Was the picture taken in the USA?

I'll start with the car, is it a 1909 Franklin?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** February 22, 2014, 03:53:05 AM »

Yep - it's a Franklin

I assume that you are looking for the name of the child, who appears to be female. Is this someone who went on to become known in the entertainment field?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** February 27, 2014, 03:41:45 AM »

No - the baby was not, at the time this picture was taken, a driver.

The adult in the picture was the driver, and, as such, achieved some fleeting renown.

Joan Newton Cuneo, reputedly America's first female racing driver?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2014, 03:33:52 PM »

Not her.

Mrs. F. S. Bliven, who reputedly drove her Franklin 35 miles with a broken steering knuckle?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** February 28, 2014, 04:17:25 AM »

Not her. Your previous guess was closer to correct. Most of it was wrong, but words 6, 7 and 9 fit the correct answer.

Is it Anne French, first female driver of Washington DC?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2014, 05:06:31 AM »

Not her

From this, I assume that the lady is not American.

Mrs. Alice Huyler Ramsey?

No, that's not what I meant. There ~~are~~ were a lot of ladies in America.

Eleanor Roosevelt?

No so well-known.

So, is it correct that the Lady in the picture is the first female driver in one of the United States?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2014, 07:56:02 AM »

Think smaller.

targhediferro · « **Reply #24 on:** March 12, 2014, 07:57:04 AM »

Smaller than a State...in a County?
