With one of my favorite cars front and center. I am pretty sure that is a 1940 Ford convertible though it could be a Mercury. The dark grille makes me lean toward Ford? I wonder when the Western Union closed it's doors?

ReplyDeleteI WORKED AT THE BANK ON THE CORNER OF W.STATE AND S.WARREN WHERE THE FLAG IS HANGING. WE USED TO GO TO LUNCH AT SCOTT TAYLOR'S PHARMACY. IT'S THE ONLY PLACE I WENT THAT CUT THEIR SANDWICHES INTO 3 QUITE EVEN PIECES. ALICE
ReplyDeleteRay, thanks for that. I think that either the Ford or Merc of 1940 was the best looking of that era though a few of my pals held out for the Mercury "turtleback", which led to some spirited conversations.
ReplyDeleteMy pal Charlie Webster, former Trenton Historian told me that Scott-Taylor Drugs had the first telephone in the city and you just dialed "1".
