Here at HistoGrafica we must admit we really enjoy looking at old pictures of vehicles like this one, recently uploaded by our user CarnationTG:

This photo was taken in 1950 in the main street of Lyndhurst, NJ, a township of some 20,000 inhabitants with history dating back to the 1850’s. If you take a closer look at the fuel service car, you will notice that the company’s name contains an Italian surname. That is most likely related to the fact that 33.8% of Lyndhurst’s residents are of Italian origin, which is 19th-highest percentage in this respect across all municipalities in the United States*
