1909 Ford Model T Postcard - Leona Teichgraeber, Youngest Kansas Chauffeur
Vintage printed postcard of a young woman driving a Ford, captioned as the youngest chauffeur in Kansas.
This document is a vintage black-and-white photographic postcard, not a technical reference. It shows a young girl, identified in the caption as Leona Teichgraeber, described as 'the youngest chauffeur in the state of Kansas,' seated at the wheel of an early Ford automobile parked in a grassy field. The car is a brass-era open touring/runabout style vehicle with wooden-spoke wheels, a folded-back top, tufted upholstery, dual round headlamps, and the Ford script badge visible on the radiator. The caption text appears in the sky area at the top of the image, and a faint publisher's imprint in the lower-left corner appears to read 'Publ. by F. Goodholm [?], Lindsborg, Kans.' The postcard contains no technical specifications, part numbers, dates, wiring information, or model designations beyond the Ford badge. A reader can learn that this is period promotional/souvenir photography from Lindsborg, Kansas, celebrating a local child driver and her Ford. It is filed in the uploader's gallery for a 1909 Ford Model T, and nothing in the image contradicts that attribution, though the card itself is undated.
