Default Re: HOT !!! Model "A" Roadsters

That was taken by Leslie Jones, a Photographer for the Boston Herald Traveler. It was taken at Readville Trotting Park, a Harness Racing Track, also used to race Autos and Motorcycles. The track opened in 1896 and closed in 1937. Leslie Jones was a well known Photographer that frequently put himself in locations to get great photos. When he died in 1967, his family gave the collection of some 35,000 prints and negatives to the Boston Public Library so they would belong to the public forever. Those photos are part of that collection and were taken on September 5, 1932, which is sort of interesting in itself as those cars were only a few years old.
