The Library of Congress has digital photo archives and some newspaper archives. While researching some family members, I found out how Howard Kneessi brought the Dodge brothers then new car to Washington, D.C. after 1915 and made D.C.#1 per capita in sales in the country. He would die in 1922 in the collapse of the Knickerbocker roof collapse due to snow load. That's a story for other venues but there's a lot unsaid about this incident.

I also found out how it was Oldsmobile in the 1920s who had a model called the Super Sport.

Just thought I'd pass this along...

Good stuff.

Trying to picture the SS flag on the Olds.
