There is not a tool made that if you don't try hard enough you can't break!

This is my home town where I was born/raised and visit just about every week. Not sure if the other side is open or not. I'm old but don't remember this one!
I do remember the next version after this one, which was a step van 55/56 or maybe 57.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you
