1950 Wagon Endurance Photo SOLD

UPDATE II: I got curious about the origin of this photo. I wondered if the story behind this marathon could be found. After examining the wagon closely, I noticed just to the right of the fellow with the hat that Hill Motor Company was in ------S, GA. After some searches, I discovered that a Kirven's store was located in Columbus, Ohio. Unfortunately, I could find no article associate with the photo on the internet or within newspapers.com.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I wish I knew more about the story behind this photo.

Kirven's is in Columbus, Georgia. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=101413 Most likely Hill's is there also. Any one have a 1950ish Columbus, Georgia phone book?
