Steve–
Zip codes weren’t in use by the USPS until 1963. Love the telephone exchange name, “DAyton”, though. Check the telephone EXchange name project website for further information. DAyton was apparently a telephone exchange used in the Bronx.

I found this, and thought it might be interesting, especially due to all the non-seatbelt wearing/carseat using/drinking while driving that goes on during the show. A car like this would be pretty typical in 1963, though it would be a few years old. Nice comparison to today. Sent by a friend who had a collision in the modern one several years ago while on the highway with her infant daughter. (Both were fine, but she said her Chevy looked just like this one.)
