We have had an e-mail from Rachel Frederick, an intern at Manassas Museum, Virginia, looking for assistance on the above model car. I have copied her e-mail below, and if anyone can help Rachel, please contact her at rfrederick@ci.manassas.va.us.
"I am an intern at the Manassas Museum and I’m looking for information and especially photographs (historic or modern) of a White Model “M” steam car, dating from around 1909. We’re currently working on an exhibit about the Peace Jubilee commemorating the American Civil War in 1911 and we know that President William Howard Taft took that model steam car from Washington to Manassas for the event. But I’ve been unable to find a decent historical or modern photograph with a credit line so I can ask the owner permission to use it in an exhibit.
Any information or guidance to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated."
