These are some photographs Dad snapped just before the opening of the 1959 automobile show, probably at Detroit's Cobo Hall. GMC, Jeep, Studebaker and Dodge Trucks were all clients of his, so many of these snaps show parts of the displays. One image seems to show a be-finned automobile in the foreground and then the AMC Rambler exhibit beyond it.
