Edwin A. Fredrickson and his parents pose with their 1908 Model T. The group appears to be traveling to Toledo, Buffalo, and Niagara as noted by the pennants adorning the automobile. The travelers are also dressed for the excursion. Their driving clothing -- duster jackets, goggles, scarves, boots, and caps -- protects against dust, mud, bugs, and weather.
