Buffalo Bill, (1846-1917) one of the few legends of the wild west to have a lot of photos taken of him.
Among other incredible life achievements, he was a Pony Express rider, recieved the Congreessional Medal Of Honor while in the Army as a scout, and got the nickname Buffalo for killing more than his competition when the govt wanted buffalo meet to feed the Army and the Kansas Pacific Railroad

woodlight headlights
I hope you've been looking at my blog long enough to recognize these headlights as my favorite, they are the Woodlight type http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/woodlight%20headlights , and only came on two cars I know of, the DuPont occasionally, and this 1930 Ruxton in its factory paint, stripes of reds. Three other cars have had woodlights, a Stutz, Cord, and an Auburn but I suspect they were added by the owners. Most unusual for factory paint, but it was the midst of the great depression, and this was a luxury car that needed potential buyers attention. ( just like the glam rockers of the 70's and 80's and the big hair and makeup ) 
The above is movie star Fatty Arbuckle's 1923 McFarlan model 154 knickerbocker cabriolet 
The above yellow is a 1934 Packard 
Above and below, 1932 Mayback DS 8 / convertible cabriolet 
the above is a 1925 Locomobile 48/ Victoria sedan 
the above is a Toledo tiller steered, ever notice that a kids little red wagon has a handle that flips up or down, and is a very small example of a horse drawn wagon? Transpose that thought to the tiller steered early horse-less carriages and the way they had tiller steering that resembles a flipped up wagon tongue 
On the left is the blue with a hood that looks like the Renault of the same era, but the Franklin was American and this example is a 1912 model G 
This green with white baloon treadless tires is a 1906 Franklin, and particularly striking is the barrel shaped hood. The round hood was replaced by the slope hood like the 1912 Franklin above this 
Beautiful brass accentuation pieces adorning this green and black Franklin 
1910 Pierce Arrow 7 passenger touring 
1912 White model GF
