Even Nash contracted GMC grinning beluga-headed freight tractors. Not having their own, yet. It wouldn't have stayed just a small fortune for anyone found below, had that toy Santa have suddenly woken up to become a real one.
Did the Chevrolets sold at that dealership feature right-hand drive? I always wondered if that was the reason the '55 and 6es placed a speaker into where a right-hand instrument cluster would have fitted. Since the Fords of that year were set up for left-hand instruments, that would have ruled out markets for right-hand drive vehicles, unless it wasn't too expensive for them to stamp R.H.D. sheetmetal dashboards.
