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. http://www.thetallestman.com/images/...ini%20(56).jpg 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.

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