    This is an interesting Crown Coach specimen. I went to school on a 1952 model which was very similar to this one. It had 4-inch sealed beam turn signals like this one. This one has a 1956 license plate. Look at where they placed the right side rear view mirror: it's behind the door. This one also has a wing spot (spotlight) on the driver's side. I expect this one had a six cylinder Hall Scott gasoline fired truck engine at the time the photo was shot. Nice documentary photo. Thanks for sharing.

    I just love this. The lady in the Chevrolet, likely out to buy stamps or mail her letters. Who was she, and what was her life like?
