Two Women Looking Out the Back of 1904 Packard, circa 1905

01

Artifact Overview

This 1904 Packard had a rear center door, which was common on horse-drawn vehicles of the time. Automobiles were in transition. They were playthings for the wealthy, yet to replace buggies for everyday transportation. These well-to-do women use a custom-made wicker hamper to carry flowers they may have gathered during their expensive excursion.
