Chris it would likely be badged a "Derby". The giveaway here is the prominent Cornell Tires banner, the Pep Boys branded tire. There are also several other shots out there of this same showroom I think also posted here on the Cabe on on the web. I will try and find some links when I get a chance. Glad you got this it will allow a closer study of the bikes in the photo. I suspect we will find mixed makers and maybe even a Colson.

Many vintage original photographs with typed information were press release photos, and usually accompanied an article written in a newspaper. Sometimes the same photographs and article will show up in different states, even as far as NY to California because the staff journalist worked for a conglomerate of newspapers. All said photographs will be originals unless you know they are duplicated.

Please.

@kreika

I’ll see what I can do.

What I wouldn't do to own a few of those signs on the wall. Woooof.

Very cool. If that address is correct, the original building is long gone, levelled in favor of the high end shopping mall, the “Americana”

So interesting that the images remain to tell their story.

Exciting to find an original print it should allow a much closer study.

I've had scans of both views for several years nothing new here

I believe this is an original photo. Has the photographers stamp on the back with no attached note for the press release.

Absolutely! It's a special piece possibly used for that particular stores advertising.

I was not casting doubt, only that I had seen scans of this and another before.

I took a look around and found this same store/display but from a different angle.
