Radio Tour 1922
"America's First Radio Tour" was a 1922 promotional trek to expose the rural West to the possibilities of RADIO. The tour began in Detroit and finished in Los Angeles, however the participants were particularly impressed with Nevada and spent three days in Austin, Nevada. The "radio equipped" Rickenbacker is shown above.
The car above is photographed in front of the Los Angeles Orphan's Home in Boyle Heights. This was when radio was a big deal.
