There are two 1963 shots of interurban 1645 with a smashed front end facing another
air car with a 42/38 roll sign. The 1645 appears to be showing Route 37 on its
front roll sign.
Jim, can you identify which wreck this was from the date and one identified car? I
am assuming the other car was the one 1645 collided with. Ken J.
