Was this from the States? Because something related to Prohibition upon alcohol would be my guess. 1920-1933 in the States.

Could also be something about womens’ rights?

EDIT: “!” to “?.” Not sure why I did that.

The banner is wordplay regarding “passed” being able to mean “overtaken on the road” or “defecation”

They’re saying this car slow af (or traffic is bad) XD

I’m pretty sure it’s about being slow, haha.

I’ve seen this bper sticker in recent years, awesome to see it has such a long history!

I read the banner as: This car is less polluting than a horse.

Nome of the above - it’s pretty clearly about being slow.

Not sure where you got any of those ideas from.

Also, these gals would’ve been pretty well off to even afford that car - definitely not the average person.

“Passed” in this context isn’t always intuitive to some English speakers.

We Americans are the heirs of a speed demon culture 💪

Daily reminder that President Grant was arrested and fined (by a Black cop, no less) for speeding in a dangerous fashion with a horse-drawn carriage. I salute both men o7

@JohnnyEnzyme
Looks like a c1920 (Missouri or New York?) license plate (which matches the ladies' fashion).

“We can’t give women the vote! They’ll run amok!”

Women running amok:

Interesting that number plates were already a thing as early as that…
