A bunch a new P15's

[John Reddie]

I wonder if any in this photo are still around to day. I'd like to think so, at least one maybe.

I'm wondering where they were going. Do you have any idea?

[John Reddie]

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.

My best educated guess is to new owners?

Absolutely amazing how much search knowledge is on this forum?!

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?

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.

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.
