Time to haul the goods.

This guy operated between the Twin Cities and up to 150 miles around. I wonder how much he got paid. This was taken in 1939.

A man who knew the value of doorless driving.

Unless the door didn’t survive the wreck that rearranged the fender.

In which case he learned the value once he had no choice in the matter.

I’m imagining the situation that removed the door. I’d guess that he was backing up with the door open and got a little too intimate with a building.

Or, t he original driver paid the price, and this is the replacement driver.  

Still has a few things to learn about packing.

It looks like it might have pressed the cab side closer against the seat, too

Are those struts attaching the building to the train? Or just an optical illusion and they are supporting an overhang on the other side of the train?

Looks like they are holding up an awning on the building.

Made by the General Insulating and Manufacturing Company of GIMCO City, Indiana.

Well, that certainly works for some people.

No door and hauling 1-ton of probably asbestos insulation. What a time to be alive.
