Rolling Billboards

[brathke at juno.com]

I lived near Charlie Dengler, and photographed the last day of Spring
Hill trolleys with him.  Also saw him delivering mail on E. Ohio St. many
times.

I took photos of as many ad-cars as I could on 22-Crosstown, but recall a
few PRC cars that ran regularly on other routes in the 1961-63 period:

Ivory Towers (a home subdivision near Keating) was often on
8-Perrysville.

One of my favorite ad-cars, the 1963 Country Fair car, was sometimes on 8
or 10.

Dodge City (car dealer) was often on 82 or 85.

'64 Plymouth car ran on various South Hills Lines.
