In 1958, Johnson Pontiac Co accepted an airplane as part payment on a new car. It was sold in 1959 through a newspaper ad and the men shown here are loading it up on a trailer to haul away. 

If anyone remembers this, and can identify any of the men pictured, contact Linda Lostetter at 325-9730 or lostetter68@gmail.com or PO Box 804 Monroe.
