Uncovering the Mystery of a Taxi Driver in Washington, 1935

This evening I'm coming across a number of great photos and sharing them piecemeal. Uncovering the mystery of a taxi driver in Washington, 1935 is one of them. Be prepared for a big photo week coming up!
Washington, D.C. "At 7 a.m. on June 21, 1942, the day before stricter gas rationing was enforced, cars were pouring into this gas station on upper Wisconsin Avenue." If they still made cars that looked like this Packard, we'd run right out and buy one. Photo by Marjory Collins for the Office of War Information.

What a great shot. I only wish we knew this guy’s name, where he lived, what he did and what happened to him. He was a taxi driver in Washington around 1935 when this photograph was taken.
