This Was the 1920s!

This Was the 1920s!
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park Theme of: THIS WAS THE [YOU NAME THE DECADE] (Please explain why the photo represents the period)
In this case, here is the 1920s in the United States - for a relatively comfortable, up and coming middle class family.
I don't know the year or model of the car, but the woman's hair, coat, dress, and shoes all look like the 1920s and on the early side of that decade to me, but I could be mistaken.
I like the way the woman is holding a spray of flowers. Looks like chicory.
Part of a collection of photos I got from VT Craigslist - purchased from a woman from the New North End, Burlington.

Thank you, Ulrich. It looks almost like a movie still, doesn't it?
(And yet it appears that the driver is texting!) ; )

Interesting photo. That two-piece windshield must have been fun. When I saw the plant, my thought was, "Why are they taking a weed with them?" It reminds me of the weeds that plague me in the Fall when the wind blows the seeds in.

Thanks, Rick. I'm pretty sure it's Chicory - they used the root for coffee during WW2, The color of the flowers are exactly "periwinkle" from the old crayon box : D.
I don't think it's very allergy causing - but (here at least) it comes out roughly the same time as ragweed - the devil's flower!!

Thanks for your visit, SV1XV.
I'd be very interested to hear more on your thoughts about the dating of this picture. Thank you!

Quite the car! And I would have missed the chicory had you not pointed it out.
