DescriptionA man stands next to a display of Coors packaged beer inside DeGroot's Bel-Air Lounge and Package Liquor Store at 4613 Menaul Boulevard Northeast in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Coors beer display includes cases of Coors beer tucked around the wheels of an old car. The word "Coors" is displayed on the front of the vehicle. In the seat area of the car is a sign reading, “Coors is as popular today as it was in Grandpa’s day. Largest selling in New Mexico”. Another sign on the vehicle reads, “Please do not handle antique auto”. The man is wearing a khaki shirt and khaki pants and a cap. He is standing and facing the camera. Behind the man are bottles of liquor displayed on shelves against a wall. A sign above the shelf reads, “Calvert Smoother going down”. A hand-written caption in ink on the photo reads, “Dad at Degruts bar.”
