About this postcard

A yellow open-sided observation car carrying passengers passes in front of Notre-Dame College in Montreal. The college's long stone facade fills the background, and automobiles of the period share the street. Open-sided sightseeing cars gave visitors an unobstructed view of city streets and were a familiar sight in mid-twentieth-century Montreal.
