Is that a '53 with the home made sun shade ?

tesgt350, thanks for your reply,  It does look like a sedan delivery/Courier, never knew of them, must be rare ?

Here's an ad, and a screen grab with one, looks like in Morocco  or that region ?

^^ Must be somewhere in CA or western states.

By the time you drove to Colorado, you were in Conoco country. They were affiliated with Union insofar as my dad used his Union card at Conoco stations when we were on road trips from SoCal.

new '55 Fords on hauler, and two '61 wagons in the showroom.

In the above pix of the '61 showroom, there's a sign hanging from the ceiling. From what I can make out: "Falcon gets up to 30 mpg on regular gas."

Did any Falcon get 30 real-world mpg? That's a big brag for the era.

May dad's '60 VW (with a rip-roaring 36 hp) barely got 30 mpg.

Of course, he drove foot-to-the-floor all the time (just to stay up with traffic.)
