Sorry to post and run earlier, but that is Hugh Jennings's car.
"In December 1911, Jennings came close to death after an off-season automobile accident. While driving a car given to him by admirers, Jennings’ car overturned while crossing a bridge over the Lehigh River near Goldsborough, 23 miles southeast of Scranton. In the crash, Jennings again fractured his skull, suffered a concussion of the brain, and broke both legs and his left arm. For several days after the accident, doctors were unsure if Jennings would survive."
Think about it, an auto accident was big news in 1911, as they weren't all that common. Also, it was a lot harder to move the car from under that bridge. Take photos and make souvenir postcards!
