Title
English: Model T on Washington Park Boulevard, Seattle, 1908
Description
English:

This postcard, a modest view of a Model T along Lake Washington, is postmarked Seattle, June 8, 1908. Since the first prototype Model T was built in early 1908, and the first national ad campaign was launched by Ford in October of that year, this picture represents one of only several hundred Ford cars in the world, and certainly one of the first in Seattle.

Caption on image: On Washington Drive Seattle. O.T. Frasch Photos. Postmarked June 8, 1908, from Seattle; one-cent stamp. Addressed to Miss Hilda Johnson, Ballard Station, Seattle.

No idea where MOHAI got "Washington Park Boulevard" in the title. It says "Washington Drive"; presumably this is part of what is now Lake Washington Boulevard.
