Maybe some of you have seen these pictures before, but they were new to me.

The dealership was at 1233 W. Georgia.
There is something unusual about both of those pictures. What is it?
Also noticeable in CVA 99-5098.

Many years ago - the middle 1970's - I owned a 56 Transtar pickup. I was getting off a ferry at Horseshoe Bay one day when a man approached me and asked where the the truck had come from(California). He said he had been the last western regional manager for Studebaker of Canada and that trucks were not sold in British Columbia after WW2. The conversation lasted no more than 30 seconds because vehicles were leaving the ferry and I didn't get his name, something I've always regretted. That had to be E. M. "Mac" Howell, so thank you for answering that question.
There is something else curious about the photos. The Studebaker of Canada address is 1233 W. Georgia. If you look at the photos in the list of the Willis Kingsley Studebaker dealership, the address is 1190 W.Georgia. There is about seven years between the two photos. Was Studebaker of Canada still there? If so, there were two Studebaker dealers basically right across the street from each other on opposite sides of the intersection with Bute Street!
