Howard, if you or any of your readers are interested, David Greenlees over on http://www.theoldmotor.com, posted a picture of my grandmother in the Folwell’s first car, a 1906 Packard Model 24. To find the picture and caption, simply go to The Old Motor web site and type in the name Folwell in the Search box.
