1955ish? Postcard of Wentworth Motors in Alabama on eBay

This postcard from Wentworth motors of Alabama appears to show a CJ-5 with a PTO supporting a posthole digger. So, I *think* this is from around 1955-56, given the lack of DJs or FCs. Note the Willys Bermuda in the parking lot. This would also suggest post 1955.

    Some neat details in the flashback: Cj with a 3-pt hitch and auger; Wagon in Courtesy Car livery; The Willys neon sign is the one you see all the time for sale "CARS TRUCKS JEEPS"; and note the wagon in the lot with the early Jeepster grill dressing!

    Based on the address, it appears the building is still there but partially boarded up.
