Summary

Ferrari 166S s/n 001S in the Alps, count Igor Troubetzkoy (not owner) at the wheel. Some historians think this is after he bought the car in early 1948, on his way home in France (locatin: Alps). Others have thought this was on his way to the Targa Florio on Sicily, early April 1948, where he was to be the driver.[1]

We at GetArchive are exploring new methods of image metadata augmentation and verification. Our goal is to make it possible to find images on any topic. In particular, we are trying to verify and fix historic periodization. This collection is made of historic photographs of automobiles that look as if they were taken in the 1940s. The collection is made with aid of a neural image recognition network dealing with the whole image composition rather than with the car model - some cars may be dated incorrectly. Although, while this method is surprisingly good for the purpose of dating and tagging, a certain percentage of images (less than 8%) may not represent automobile, but other vehicle type or visually similar object. Naturally, our next step should be creating numerous datasets for a particular car years&models, but as of September 2022, we found no use to justify the effort.
