Vestfold

Near Holmestrand 1924

The Ford has the letter "G" in front of the registration no. That was changed to Z some time in the early 30'ies, the reason was that "G" and "C" were mixed up, and it was said that many drivers in the "C" cars (from the county of Akershus) were driving too fast, - and the owners of the "G" cars were blaimed and fined.
