The picture of him in the Duro includes my Grandfather Thomas Van Talbert, also known as Timothy Talbert- "Tim-Tom." Chris, it sounds like you might own my Great Grandfather's Duro, which my Grandfather told me was the first car in the area. Evidently, there was much hoopla when he drove it over the Santa Ana river bridge. I was told people were afraid to go over it, so my great grandfather drove over it to may cheers. Do you have a current picture you could email me of the car? My Dad, who lives in San Luis Obispo County would love it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235669429172807619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-12545236236598462002008-04-18T21:54:00.000-07:002008-04-18T21:54:00.000-07:00More puzzling clues about the postcard image of th...More puzzling clues about the postcard image of the two cars.
