Re: Dating Photos



You might contact Cynthia Reed-Miller at Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield
Village...she's done some work in the area of dating based on the content
clues, especially as it relates to vehicles.

I don't think she's on the list, but I seem to remember seeing someone from
there on here earlier.
