Sam is my great-great uncle, and I had no idea there was a photo of him, much less one in the internet that I would stumble across.

He was a trapper for the state of Michigan, which is confirmed by the 4 wolf furs and the front license plate on that car. (Mich dept of conservation 8)

Sam lost an arm, it may have been WW1, and was setting his traps with only one arm/one hand ... what a difficult thing that must have been to do, I've set traps too, they aren't easy, and they are really damn dangerous.

the original is bigger and I cropped out a telephone pole, but just look at the abandoned gas station, in 1937. Ain't that just Hank Williams "So lonely I could die" lonely? Via: http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/ who found it on Shorpy... awesome website of old photographs.

I love the COE look

both of these last two are convertible cars that were converted, wouldn't that blow your mind if you came across it on the street today?
