Nice photo.
Was this Richmond "City", Virginia or Richmond "County", Virginia??
Neither are related. About 60 miles or so apart.
If the buggy whip antenna is any indication, then it had to be Richmond County as they operated on low band vhf radio.
Richmond City operated on high band vhf radio at 154.130 back then, so probably would had an antenna of about 12 inches in the roof.
