The photo was taken between mid 1964, when the new black plates for cars were issued, and mid 1965 when trucks and vans got the new plates. The car is a 1956 Rambler Super, which could have been sold by either the local Nash dealer, or the Hudson dealer. The truck is a Chevrolet of a model first seen in 1942. They continued in production through WW2 and many were sold into private hands after military service.
