[1701 Madison Avenue, c. 1939–1941. From the NYC Municipal Archives Collections. Click for a much larger view.]
Car trouble in East Harlem, found by chance. Is the man looking under the car wearing a hat? Hard to say, but I’m sure he owns at least one. Is that a Wonder Bread delivery truck? Hard to say.
What I do know: that’s a flower shop across the street. And those buildings are now gone.

A great find! It is a Wonder Bread truck. I found a photograph of a toy WB truck, but the resemblance wasn’t clear enough: https://www.dallasmodelworks.com/products/cmw/accessories/221-30359.jpg .
