| Date | ca. 1922 |
| Caption | Vice President Calvin Coolidge was known mostly for quiet demeanor while he served as a representative, senator, governor, and vice-president. Soon to become president due to President Harding's death in 1923, Coolidge would maintain his reputation as a man of few words, but his ability to build relationships in the Republican party and manage the scandals remaining from the Harding administration would allow him to win the 1924 presidential election.
Coolidge is shown in the back seat of this automobile during a trip to Seattle sometime during his vice-presidency from 1921 to 1923. |
