That photo from the Washington Mall (w/ Wash Monument) is from the Historic Vehicle Association, which places there specific automobiles of particular historic value once a year: https://www.historicvehicle.org/category/cars-at-the-capital/

Along w/ the Barris car, they also displayed the Gypsy Rose and the McGee Roadster: https://www.historicvehicle.org/gypsy-rose-famous-lowrider-goes-washington-d-c/

I helped out w/ the Taft car in ‘16. Was a fabulous event, as we brought in White House Transportation Agency soldiers who assisted w/ the presentation: https://www.historicvehicle.org/newly-introduced-legislation-aims-give-old-cars-footing-bridges-buildings/
