1955 Ford Fairlane Town Car Parked in a Neighborhood Driveway
Add to SetSummary
Motorists dislike feeling dependent on the mechanics who service their cars. They worry about the expense -- and whether the mechanic might be incompetent or dishonest. For decades, people got leads on a good mechanic through word-of-mouth recommendations. Perhaps that's what these women in this 1955 photograph are doing.
