John Reddie Posted December 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 That is a good question and I wish I knew. I remember growing up in the '50's, P15's were everywhere. In Boston, they were used as taxi cabs and many other cities too I'm sure. John R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 Wonder if any were loaded below deck? Ship is a lot more out of the water than it would be with a full load of grain salt, coal or iron ore. And here everybody thought roll on roll off was a recent concept... How come cargo goes by freighters (ships). Freight goes by train, shipments go by truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 I see at least two woody wagons and one convertible in that picture. It also serves to show there were NO two tone P15s........all were a solid color. Don't see any of those white metal wheel trim rings either. Perhaps they did not use them in 46. Neat picture.

Good point Bob about the trim rings. I think that possibly they were installed when the cars were at the dealers but not sure.

John R My grandad bought a new 48 Deluxe Coach (2 dr sedan) The dealer dressed it up a bit to clinch the sale. Included were the white trim rings, fog lights and back up light a cigarette lighter and an odd plastic wind deflector on the door window but behind the driver. Perhaps it was to protect the rear seat passengers from drafts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
