Wheelchair repair (1)
Date: c. 1970s
Image Description: A black-and-white photograph of the Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association’s mobile wheelchair repair unit parked indoors at an event. The side of the large white truck reads “EASTERN PARALYZED VETERANS ASSOCIATION, NEW YORK, N.Y. 10016, 686-6770, WHEELCHAIR REPAIR SERVICE” alongside a cartoon logo of a person speeding in a wheelchair, while a man in a suit and several wheelchair users gather near the side of the vehicle. Propped against the front cab on the right is a dark pegboard displaying worn tires, caster wheels, and hardware above a sign reading: “CHAIR DOESN’T FEEL RIGHT?? Parts Like These Could Be The Reason! TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHAIR.”
