Early Bluffton-Pandora vehicle - 1910 Rio?

  • Historical Bluffton
  • / May 08, 2017

Here's one of the early Bluffton-Pandora vehicles. Harvey Suter is in the driver's seat (notice the steering wheel on the right side) and his sister, Leola, is sitting with him. The car is believed to be Philip Neuenschwander's Rio (Harvey's uncle). Our guess on the model is close to a 1910 Rio. Harvey was born in 1893, making him 17 in 1910.
