Seeks License for 27 Year Old Automobile
CHICAGO P These modern automobiles are fine but they built some real cars back in 1905 too. Peter Esslinger bought one of the 1805 variety for 10 and Tuesday applied for a state license. He still did 35 to 40 miles an hour. When the manufacturers learned that he had bought the machine they offered him a brand new suit for it. I intend to run this car until it falls apart or I do. A museum offered him 20 for it, but he declined that offer too.
