It's a '36 High roof truck. Bottom corners of the windshield are rounded, fenders have "apron" behind wheel, grille is chrome and uses same emblem as '34 and '35 cars. Any chance it was over loaded?

Could that 36 even get to 50 pulling that load and with the hood sides off it probably got hot in that cab.

Ruby Chevrolrt also had a store in downtown Milwaukee in 1950. Moved out to the Burbs later and then vanished.

This info was also supplied to the Facebook site that posted the picture...
" Ruby Chevrolet was a Southside Chicago dealer on south Stony Island avenue. They later took on a VW franchise. Despite the changing inner city neighborhood in the 1960s, they soldered on until about 1990."

It seems like most of the dealers around here that were originally in town have vanished after being in the suburbs. Ruby Chevrolrt also had a store in downtown Milwaukee in 1950. Moved out to the Burbs later and then vanished.

I took a trip back home to Fergus today to help Kaygee with some roof work on the house. After lunch Mom & I took to the old photo albums again. Every time I go there it seems like there's another one that I haven't seen yet! I've dug out the Chevrolets to share with you all again. Sorry for the picture quality, but my scanner is on the fritz, so I had to take photos of the photos... This is my Grandmother and Uncle Bob, with Grandpa's 1931 Chevrolet. First time I'd seen a picture of it or known he had one... This was an Uncle's wedding, with a 1934 Chevrolet sedan... Mom wasn't sure who these two were. Visitors to the farm. I was sure it's a '37 Chevy... This is my Grandmother's sister, with her daughter...and 1938 Chevrolet. This is my Mom. The car is her Grandfather's 1946 Chevrolet. He was the 3rd owner of the car, and kept it "as shiny as new nickel", in Mom's words. He owned it for a few years, then sold it when he got a newer car. The new owner wrapped it around a tree within 3 weeks... This 1958 Impala was owned by a relative. That's Grandma in the passenger seat, Uncle Bob in the front, and my Mom standing in the rear seat. She explained who all of the others were... but I was busy looking at the car! I hope she wrote it all down on the back!

A green '53 Bel air. I had no idea what they look like from the front, as usually I'm tailgating one!

1950 postcard of the R & B Motor Co., Franklin, Pa. The back states they had been in business for 36 years at that point - meaning since 1914. via Kerry Glenn on FB.

1934 Master Sedan with optional side mounts. Tire covers denote it being from J. V. Baldwin Motor Co., which was a Chevrolet dealership on Figueroa St. in Los Angeles.

The 1934 Master Town Sedan is a 2 door with a built-in trunk. Car pictured is just call a Sedan. t it were to have a built-in trunk it would have been a Sport Sedan. A new model introduced in mid 1934.
