June 1, 1918. French driver Louis Chevrolet and mechanic in their Frontenac at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway in Brooklyn, racing in the Harkness Handicap. 5x7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection. View full size.
Do you have any idea who the person identified as the "mechanic" is in your photo of Chevrolet at the wheel in Brooklyn, 1918? I think it may have been my grandfather, but I only have one picture of him, He reputedly worked as a mechanic with Chevrolet.
Thanks.

Monsieur Chevrolet, he is indeed an impala, no?
See the USA in your Frontenac didn't catch on.
