Description
Four promotional photographs of a private motorcoach. First, an African American driver standing by the door of the bus, which has "Private Car, Californian" in it's destination window. These are the only identifying marks seen in pictures. Next, the bus parked at an Esso gas station, with a small billboard reading "Piney Park Auto Supply" visible. There are two interior shots, one with an African American woman in a maid's uniform attending a white woman passenger, and the same maid standing with a coffee pot, next to an African American man dressed in chef's outfit, showing the same passenger a serving dish while she sits at a dining table Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) Still image [United States] :, [publisher not identified],
