OT but close to the REA truck noticed. My first job in bcstng was at a local CBS station in Sept, 1969. One of my jobs was to go to the local Railway Express Agency to pick up the "bicycle" of tapes of the Phil Donahue show once a week in our Chevy station wagon. The amazing thing to me after all these years is that shows were delivered by rail to obscure sidings in corntowns. Five new shows in on 2" tape via the "bicycle" and five old shows out on 2" tape to the next station on the "bicycle". Those Donahue shows could have been five weeks old by the time they aired. The REA station was south Rockford, IL was a time capsule. It was on some rail siding that served Chicago and was complete with the handcart on the siding with wooden wheels and iron rims. It was 1889 again. I was a rookie and thought this was the way things were done.
The limo looks very 1964 to me. Now back to our Miami location topic.
