You once told me this elephant was Blanche and that the car might be an Oldsmobile.

Tell us a little about Blanche's career.

I think this is a staged photo as the car has no noticeable drop behind and you can see the trunk is on the left side of the driver? Bet he is on a tub on the other side? Neat setup photo!
