I believe I've posted this photo before, Dave. It's a 1962 Polaroid 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 black & white photo that Paige Van Vorst took at one of the practice sessions for Chicago's Thrill Show that was held annually at Soldiers Field. Paige and I had taken a Greyhound Bus down to Chicago to visit the CFD at age 15. We stayed at the downtown YMCA Hotel on Wabash. It was our first out-of-town buffing trip!
You can see the difference in the cabinets of the two Snorkel Squads (SS-2 on left, SS-1 at right). They ended up adding a canopy hood later under the snorkel boom (just behind the cab). I think Steve Reddick has a photo that he had posted of SS-2 with the canopy.
