Goto hi-res and check the car reflected in the window on the right

I always marvel at the Shorpy photos.   The Elite sign even shows the wood grain under the paint.   So much detail to be found in every photo.

I took these two pics for Frederic...and you other eastern seaboard modelers.

BTW. I found a great book (IMO) while there called "Early Nantucket And It's Whalehouses" by H. Chandlee Foreman; published by Mill Hill Press, Nantucket, MA....If I recall it was around $30...from Mitchels Book Corner, 54 Main St., Nantucket, www.mitchellsbookcorner.com
