The first parked car is a 1934 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe, the guess, behind the Chey, could possibly be a Stearns Knight, circa 1928-30. The third car is a 1931 Chevrolet. The car driving west, is Ford Model A. Brock Buick, had to be the biggest automobile dealership in the city. They advertised everywhere. They also sold Peerless, and Winton autos, before Buick. I believe they also sold a truck line earlier. I see a sign in the Five and Dime, anklets, spring styles, help me out here, anklets? It must be March, judging by the winter coats, and Easter candy for sale in Loft's window.

WHAT A BIG CHANGE IN THE WAY PEOPLE SHOPED IN THOSE DAYS. THEY DID AWAY WITH SALESPEOPLE AND MAKE YOU SELECT WHAT YOU WANT AND PAY AT A SALES COUNTER. DOWNTOWN TRENTON WAS A BIG THING WITH THE KIDS FROM THE BURG. IT WAS LIKE GOING SOMEWHERE SPECIAL. I REALLY MISS THOSE YEARS. BEST REGARDS.RALPH LUCARELLAnoreply@blogger.com
