The strange-looking vehicle in the photo is a 1927 Chevrolet with A. E. (Bert) Stallard at the wheel.

 

1968 - Mr. Stallard, who retired recently after 41 years of service with the department, operated the vehicle when he joined the Radio Branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries (a forerunner of D.O.T.) in 1927 to assist the interference investigation inspectors. He moved from the Radio Regulations Division to administration as a chauffeur in 1962.

 

At a luncheon in Winnipeg honoring Mr. Stallard on his retirement, the guest of honor was presented with a transistor portable radio by W. E. Fenn, regional director of air services for the Central region.
