Here is a picture from Albany OR Regional Museum. They misspelled Studebaker, but my daughter still caught it and sent it to me to share. It would be nice to find one like that now....for that price.

Originally posted by studegary View PostWhen I worked in an A&P (about 1955), we would carry the groceries to the customer's car, no matter how close or far they parked (that A&P did not have a parking lot nor a place to pull up [not counting the loading dock for truck shipments]).
Up until a few years ago, their shopping carts never left the building. The carry-out team had different upright style carts with bigger wheels on them to handle heavy snow. In the past few years, their regular shopping carts are in a covered area out in the lot like the rest of the grocery stores.

One of the places we bought groceries in South Dakota had a sheltered area you could pull through and someone would load your groceries during bad weather. This was in the 1980s."In the heart of Arkansas."

Hornbacher's stores in Fargo you can have your groceries put in a big plastic tub with a number painted on it that the bagger at the till then gives you a board about the size of a A size sheet of paper with a matching number. You then go to your car and meanwhile the tub gets carried over to a roller slide/conveyor that goes outside to a covered drive-up area. You pull your car around and find your tub waiting with the others. Not sure if someone helps transfer or not as I never have enough stuff to use this OR I wheel my cart out to the car myself. I remember 35-40yrs ago when I would go shopping with my mom at stores in the "big" town near (20miles) where I grew up that had the same setup.

From today's Hemmings Blog. Could that be a 1964-1966 "Lark" taxicab on the extreme right side? (Light-colored body, dark-colored top with taxi device on top.) BP
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

And look at that well-equipped Wagonaire in the lower left corner right by that 'Mass Envelope' sign.
Could that be rear of another '64-'65 Lark-type just below that 'Knai Shoes' sign up the one street?
