Washington-registered vintage Buick
Another image found in a bundle of pics bought from the States, this one showing a cheerful chap in his (or his dad's!) new Buick tourer..

I scanned this car photo in at high resolution initially, to confirm that this is indeed a Buick from the pre-1920 vintage era. Having had a look at other photos of really early Buicks on prewarbuick.com, I'm pretty sure that this is a 1917 Buick. A small handwritten note on the photograph, directly over the driver's running board, says '1918', and the license plate is dated 1919. The full details on the plate are WN 47002 X-19, WN being the code for Washington State. I believe that the plate would have had a yellow background, with black lettering.
