Truck Towing Cinderella Parade Float

Truck Towing Cinderella Parade Float | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Thanksgiving Day Parade, either Macy's Parade in Manhattan, New York, or Gimbels' Parade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A tan and brown International Harvester Scout 4x4 is pulling a float with a Cinderella theme. The float has several white horses pulling a pumpkin carriage with driver in orange and gray livery, and a woman in a white gown and green shawl sitting on top. A sign on the side appears to read "Dr. Pepper." Other signs in the background and along the street advertise Sony, Coca-Cola, Canadian Club, Winston cigarettes (with image of man smoking a cigarette), and the motion pictures Carrie and Silver Streak. Women in gray costumes with yellow skirts (possibly representing mice) walk along one side of the float, and spectators and uniformed police officers can be seen on the other side.
