Trio in Early Motor Car

Ah, out for a Sunday afternoon ride.

Sitting three abreast in a single seat vehicle, this family is enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon. They have the wind in their faces, and they are together.

Father is wearing his driving gloves. He also wears a strap to keep his hat from blowing away. That strap is blowing behind him. They must be going fast.

Mother must have her hat secured by hat pins. She looks amused to see the unabashed excitement shown by the boy.

The little pennant that says "EXCUSE MY DUST" is almost completely unfurled. This old car must be faster than it looks.

The car is older. See the rust on the body and the door? No rust is visible on the red car. The chrome on the red car actually looks polished.

The boy is looking back at the red car behind them. He can barely contain his excitement. His necktie is actually blowing behind him.

I can still remember when I was as excited as the boy in this picture about riding around on Sunday afternoon.

The big question for this painting? Did the trio pass the red car or is it going to pass them? Either way, the boy is very excited...
