Sepia-toned photographic print mounted on tan brown matte board of the Original "Bedelia" Rocket Cyclecar taken in August 1913. Two men sit in the cyclecar. Dark print on the side of the car says "JB-ROCKET" CYCLECARS-DETROIT-." It is parked on a bricked roadway. There are other men gathered around, looking at the automobile. A large brick building sits along the street, partially covered by a wooden rectangle structure. Written on the matte below the image is text that says "ORIGINAL "BEDELIA" ROCKET CYCLECAR AUG. 1913." There is faint handwriting on the back, some of the words unable to be made out. It says "1914 -- -- S.B. cyclecar -- 1020-30 Beaufort ----- / could this be in front of the Factory?"
