Brian this is up your alley but did you notice the stock and fit on the gun the man is holding. No way that is an off the shelf gun stock. There can't be that many guns out there modified for 7.5 feet men. I wonder if that pic was delivery of that modified gun to the big guy.

A friend of mine that is 7' and played a bit in NFL as a backup lineman for the Giants (fitting), once went shooting with me. I am 6 feet and I let him borrow my Ruger Sporting Clays gun that I added a slip on leather stock pad. Had some extra closed cell foam and added about 1.5 inches into the bottom of pad. It helped some but it still looked like a toy gun on him. Still such a good athlete he was able to pick it up with a little instruction and shoot great. Seriously the guy said he could count on one hand how many times he used a shotgun and he hit around 50 out of 100 and no station really waxed him. It was tough trying to hit some of the crossers at first but he was getting better.

It would make sense if that was him, and his body proportions do match those of the photos on his website. The lady in the car would make sense to be his wife, who would remain in there being immobile while he shot or posed for the photo. From what I can see of her in the car and her photos from the website, she may be the easier to match up.

This seems to look like the car with Al's wife in it http://www.thetallestman.com/images/...ini%20(57).jpg.

In the photo that Sara posted, the man's waist is well above the roof line of the car. Unlike i
this second picture. Not the same guy or perspecitve/focal length distances are different?

In the original photo on this thread, one can see they are standing above the car, on what looks to be a sidewalk.

The cars do match; unusual two-tone for the time period. Vent glass and side trim also match. I would say the mystery is solved.

I noticed that as well Jerry. Good catch. Ken maybe right and it is compelling circumstantial evidence with similar looking car in another photo. That last photo Ken posted is more clear. You can even tell that the pants on his suit were creased at the knee from being bunched up on hanger. Still I will agree even with that curb and standing next to supposedly Frank LaFever that guy is Sara's picture looks bigger. I know those big dudes have all kind of back issues and their heights varied. They also would claim to be taller than they were sometimes. Jack Earle was another potential guy and supposedly he was 8.5 tall and worked with ringling brothers and also became noted as Pecos Bill. I think I read where he was being deposed in court and listed his actual height of 7' 6. Its interesting.

I think the man in the Lefever photo appears taller than the car due to the angle that the photo was taken at. But it is hard to say.

There is this photo with the same car in it where he is standing a little more upright and appears taller compared to the car than he does in the other photo.

However, the cars are a very good match. Even that same vent in the fender can be seen in both photos. That is a very strong connection.

One will also notice that the same shirt appears to be worn in these three photos as with the Lefever photo. With the lighter collar and sleeves. There are several others on the site with the same shirt.

It really is amazing what is on the internet.

The car in the picture Sara posted has a vent window where the one in Me. Dudley’s picture does not.

Wow, guys! I think we could be on to something with all of this. Quite a few things are adding up. Thanks for all the assistance and brainstorming!

Great job on that information, Ken! Was not expecting to see all of that!
