Washington & Octavia

Based on the concrete stairs and the steep angle. The house is there but now behind two others.

Business Coupe

Was this the so-called "salesman's coupe" for its ability to carry a lot of samples in a huge trunk?

Weird measurements

105mm is about 4.134 inches (i.e., close enough to 4 for tire purposes); but 610mm is about 24.016 inches, which is pretty far from 32 inches.

[24 inches is the rim size for a 32x4 tire (32 minus 4x2 equals 24). - Dave]

Shocked by the narrow whites

I thought narrow whitewalls were a new thing when they suddenly (re)appeared in 1962. Apparently they were not.

Tire size

The tires appear to be 32x4 (4 inches wide on a 32-inch rim). Does anybody know what the 105 / 610 number represents?

[Size in millimeters. - Dave]
