When you say different drivers...looks to me like Cobb and the other guy in the front just switch seats...same 4 passengers, no?

I agree, and I imagine they got used for promotion of the company, so the big wig had to get one behind the wheel too.

Yes, identical postcards other than Cobb switching seats with the car rep.

I am pretty sure that the other driver is Barney Oldfield, probably the most famous race car driver of the early 20th century.

Wonder if Cobb traded in his Brush Runabout?

If you look carefully you can see Cobb with a "Ty Cobb back" tobacco card.

I assume that is the same Davy Jones that played with Cobb? If so, any idea why he is included here?

According to the SGC pop report their are only three graded examples of the Matheson Silent Six Postcard with Cobb and others, which includes both poses of drivers.
I am pleased to say that I will have the third example, an SGC 50 in my upcoming auction, should any of you have an interest. Just a heads up, the auction starts Jan 22nd. |

I don't mean to take sides regarding who was more famous, but when Walter Johnson took one of his first paychecks, bought a "high performance" car, and promptly got pulled over for speeding, the nick-name that he was given by his teammates, which stuck for life ("Big Train" wasn't coined until much later in his career), was "Barney". Perhaps only because it has a more distinct ring to it than "Ray".
