My hometown bookmobile. I think this is a 1950. It looks like it is a canopy express with side doors added. Thought you'd enjoy the old picture.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I think the bookmobile is a 50 and Leo's is a 53.

Don't worry about taking the test sweetie. We know you know, your just making us feel good. LOL

Looks like a small door that opens to checkout books.

Leo's is a half ton.

Thanks Tim. I did an edit on my post.

..... the doors do raise. As I mentioned, if you look close it almost looks like a canopy express with the doors added. I was a "friend of the library" for many years and build some stuff for them and got to see some old stuff stored away from years gone by but no panel truck. The first one I can remember was the "van" type that came around to the schools.
Here is my grammar school where I went 1st through 4th. Heated with wood and coal. Picture about 1948 I think.

and Gaffney High at the end of the street just like it was when I went there. Photo taken in the 20's not long after it was built.

Too cool Alvin. Was just showing it to my daughter and she loved it. Well...partially because she recognized it as a panel and partially since we also live in a cherokee county (obviously the wrong cherokee but she still loved it).
