Would you buy a used car from this man?

This photo of J. Edgar Hoover from Shorpy caught my eye today- he definitely doesn't look like a man who was one of the most powerful people in the USA for what, 50 years? (Or a guy who dressed in woman's clothes for that matter, but jeeze those are scurrilous and unsubstantiated rumors- so disregard!)

As it is, If you haven't checked out Shorpy.com yet, you do yourself a great disservice! You can spend hours looking at the amazing vintage, hi-res images on the site. I am a big fan of the nature shots and the baseball-related pictures myself. http://www.shorpy.com/
