are they 13?

My eyes are not so good, but that count seems accurate. The number (or age) of the kids is not part of the answer.

This type of vehicle is well-known. If you can ID the car, the solution becomes easier.

This one's like a boil on the butt of the Pro section - perhaps I should send it to the final resting place, where it can be dealt with by a medical professional?

This car-buncle has not been lanced.

Let's hope there is an orphanage in the Black Hole.

Is this car related to a doctor?

Buicks were often doctor's cars. This is not a Buick

Is this a 1912 model?
Title: Re: Puzzle #1821
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 14, 2011, 05:21:22 AM
I believe the photo is from 1910. A few online references indicate the photo is from an earlier date, which you will see in incorrect, if you find it.

I've found this captioned as 'Lansing's Future Oldsmobile Owners' from Lansing Michigan.
I would imagine it is a factory sponsored outing.
