Sepia-toned photograph of a man in an early runabout-style car parked on the west side of Woodward Avenue at Atwater Street. A sign reading "Sheriff 1912" is hung from one of the car's roof supports. H.D. Edwards and Company's building stands in the background. Other signs posted on the building advertise "Sail Makers and Rigging[...]" and "Awnings, Tents" in reference to the J.C. Gloss Company and the Detroit Awning and Tent Company, who also shared that building.

King Built and Operated the First Automobile on the Streets of Detroit 1894 (Oliver E. Barthel was the first passenger)."
