Vintage Buick

1920 Buick Touring, Starting in 1922, this stout vehicle carried passengers from the Chamber of Commerce in Grants Pass up to the Oregon Caves along a newly completed narrow dirt road. Image probably taken in May 1923. Note the condition of the tires, and two-wheel brakes! The cylindrical structures on the front are extra-duty hydraulic shock absorbers.
