DescriptionThis image depicts the interior of the showroom at the newly constructed Oden Chevrolet in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Five different vehicles can be seen parked on the showroom floor. Four of these vehicles are Corvairs while the final vehicle, near the right side of the frame, is a pickup truck. Three triangular signs that read "Chevrolet for '59" can be seen hanging from the ceiling above the vehicles. Numerous paper lanterns can also be seen hanging from the ceiling. The car closest to the left side of the frame has three unidentified men in dark colored suits gathered around its trunk. One man is resting his hand against the car's closed trunk. In the background, a reception desk is visible with a banner above it which reads "Chevy". A woman can be seen behind the desk hunched over writing something.
