"The owner of that VW van was Jack Ubaldi, who used it for his store, Florence Prime Meat Market, at 5 Jones Street. Ubaldi was born in Italy and came to New York with his family when he was seven. His butcher’s shop was one of those Village staples – he opened it in 1936 and, aside from a stint in the US navy during the second world war, ran it until 1975, when he sold it to one of his employees."

Nice article. I wonder if that panel bus still exists.

| Great story thanks very much. Always wondered about those bus details. Was it an original double door? The article is a bit vague on that detail? |

| First pic looks like a high hinge bullet turn signal bus, second pic is fried eggs and low hinge. |

Jack must have traded up. He should've waited another year for the big back window. |
