I am trying to find an old photo that evokes early tourism in rural New York
State, at the time when the State Historic Markers were first being put up.

We have all seen those old shots of Model T Fords (maybe it was
Model A) struggling through some rutted dirt road, with people hanging out
the windows (did they have windows?). Too bad when you want to find one, you
can't seem to come up with it. It does not have to be a NY image, but it
would be great if it was digital and free of copyright.

Any ideas?
