My father worked Gerstenslager Co in Wooster, OH.:usa Some of these vehicles were built there during his career. It must have been the late 50"s or early 60's. I saw one, again in the Henry Ford Museum in the mid-90's. I believe it's still there!:dunno

Every time I see one, it a flash back to my dad who was a cabinetmaker.
