A two-seat open touring car with its folding top raised is shown in profile against a plain light background. The car has wooden artillery-spoke wheels, brass side lamps, and a spare tire mounted at the rear. The caption identifies it as a Metz-Special, a model from the Metz Company of Waltham, Massachusetts, which built light, affordable cars in the 1910s. The brass fittings and wooden wheels fit the early gasoline era, when automakers still borrowed details from horse-drawn vehicles.
