| Notes / History | By the First World War, wealthier households could afford cars with enclosed seats. (The car shown here appears to be a chaffeur driven vehicle, possibly a Rolls Royce.) By comparison with modern cars, the roof was set at a considerable height, possibly to accomodate the contemporary fashion for voluminous hats. |
