That 1953 Mercury car was considered very modern for the day. Its Flathead V8 was deemed a hot rod engine. I remember I used to make drawings of that car when I was bored in grade school.....which was almost everyday.

Speaking about school in those long ago days....I absolutely disliked the insipid Dick and Jane books. My preferred reading in 3rd grade was TIME magazine.

The overhead catenary of trolley wires seem to cloud the sky. Fun photo ER.
