Franklin D. Roosevelt waves his top hat from an open car in Philadelphia on September 20, 1940, with Mrs. Roosevelt, Senator Joseph F. Guffey, and city Democratic chairman John B. Kelly nearby. The visit came during Roosevelt's campaign for a third term against Wendell Willkie, when Pennsylvania's industrial vote mattered greatly. Open-car parades like this were a common way for candidates to meet crowds in person, long before television reached most homes. The caption data is old and unverified, so check the exact occasion before relying on it.
