That's because of the presence of steel, not the absence, I presume.  The
Plymouth is remarkable in that regard!

The image was taken June 21,1966. I know Ms. Hill was exploring the East End
on that date. She snapped quite a photos of 64, 66, 71 &73 cars that week.
1764 was an East End car at that time. The line pole with the meter clock
thingie has a bracket on top identical to those in the area of the Highland
Park terminal. So it probably is.

The '61 Chevy wagon shows no sign of terminal tin worm disease, unusual for
a
Pittsburgh based auto of that era, even though it was only five years old. A
friend's family, living in the West End from 1958 until 1969, had a '58
Chevy
wagon that was already rusting out behind the headlight buckets by 1963.

Which reminds me: Ed, bring a pocket magnet next time you visit us. Our '59s
will amaze you! :-)   Ken J.
