Another contribution from Ed --
These are some people gathered around what I believe to be either a 1928 Model A (some of the first ones were released in 1927 but titled as 1928 vehicles). I have no idea who the people are but they are from Summers County, West Virginia, where I grew up. We frequently see photos of family members standing near or by their automobiles -- clearly a major purchase and a point of pride. Every family has such photos.
But this photo provides ample illustration of "pride of ownership" given that when the photo was snapped each member of the family was shown cleaning the vehicle.
Perhaps they were thinking: "We love our car..........and this photo is a reflection of our desire to care for this important purchase."
Our cars often reflect how we want others to see us. What does this photo say about the family members seeming to love and care for what is really just a material object?
