Back on forum 1, there was a fun thread about what your elder family drove...
I was recently given a print of this photo, circa 1953. I guess near the end of the $$ line for a coal yard in Philly. At one time it was a pretty successful business.
That's my grandmother with the truck, she ran the business after my grandfather died (maybe around '44?).
I'm curious if any SAAC-ers can identify the brand of truck? ... realizing that it is not a great photo.
I remember my Dad telling me about driving those old trucks with mechanical brakes (not necessarily this truck) and learning to rub up against the curb to help stop
Thanks.
