Too much for one photo...
(UPDATE; MI-NIMAX ! )

• 

Preppy gal, great Kissel, Nimax, Berlin, Boeck, Boyce... Even a relative straight forward shot can tell so many stories that sometimes we don't know where to start. The Kissel (1925?) is not really the problem. The fact that the photo was shot in/near Berlin changes the perspective for more than a few degrees (photographer: M. Boeck, Berlin, Paulstr., 24). And then, it's not a plain street, maybe the "Nimax im Haus" sign in the background can help? Is this a Berlin drive-in movie theatre? Or maybe an airfield? In case you let in this suggestion, you'll want to follow the theory of editor Rutger Booy who knows of only one girl who owned Kissel in that time...: Amelia Earhart ! Yet we doubt if she was ever in Berlin .... with her Kissel. But this is no reason not to check Amelia's 'Yellow Perril' at the Forney Museum of Transportation. Sender Terry Boyce would love to learn more about the car, the driver and/or the location. Can you help? Contact Us (collection Terry Boyce, USA)
UPDATE by Thomas Erler (AUSTRIA):" ....the letters MI are missing on top of the sign. Minimax is an old fire extinguisher company founded in the early 1900´s in Berlin. I believe that the sign (MI)NIMAX IM HAUS was an advertsement for their extinguishers. They were very popular, red cone shaped things and ther is even a connection to motoring. German ARDIE motorcycles were nicknamed (MI)NIMAX. Anyway keep up the good work! I rate your page absolutely top! I enjoy every little article and I am a great fan of pre war."
