Day 2 more pictures - FDR Museum and Library

Barbara got invited to an afternoon tea by the nicest couple. She had a really had a fun time with them.

Ever seen a wheelchair with an ash tray? Well FDR had one.
Here is the FDR car - really quite well preserved for its age. But how would a man with no use of his legs drive?



Here is how - the two levers controlled the clutch, brake, and gas pedal.
The silver metal box to the left of the stearing wheel dispensed lighted cigarettes.

Hey, come on - actually thanks for noting that. Old man + tired = dufus. Been to the JFK Library too. Oh well....
