Herbert and Nellie Vincent - 1915-1916 |
 Herbert and Nellie Vincent in 1915, standing alongside their brand new Saxon automobile. This was the first automobile for Herbert and Nellie, and it was her first experience with a motor car, transportation previously being by horse and buggy. Made by the Saxon Motor Car Company, of Detroit, Michigan, electric lighting was added as a standard fitting in 1915. The house in the background was that of Herbert's brother, Melvin Vincent, who lived in Alberhill, California (near Lake Elsinore). As an interesting side note: It is unknown whether Herbert Vincent had owned or used an automobile before the above pictured Saxon, but he did at one point have a horse, and had a "silver rib" due to an injury received when he was kicked by his horse. |
