But that street sweeper is cooler.

I like the sweeper too, and the driver is dressed nice.  Guessing its a saleman doing a demo or a boss in a photo op.

I noticed how he was dressed as well. It may have been the norm then. I saw some pix of a machine shop from the teens and the workers had on ties.

I'm thinking the guy with his hands in his pockets on the sidewalk is the usual driver of the sweeper.

I think the drivers is way too well dressed to be the normal operator.

I  know A lot of tradesmen wore ties to work, but that guy looks to be in a very nice suit and fine overcoat and nice shoes

I think you are right. I bet that is the mayor taking their new sweeper for a test drive in front of city hall.

Looked it up -- seems to be an Austin Western Street sweeper from the 1950's. They were top tier sweepers up until the mid/late 1970's
