June 2nd - Coronation of Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey, London
Well it is a long time ago, I should know being born in 1953
Eisenhower sworn into office - January 20
Salk announces polio vaccine - March 23
Queen Elizabeth crowned - June 2
The year is 1953. The car is a commemorative boxcar wherein Jonas Salk has President Eisenhower give the queen a vaccine! What did I win?
'53 for the first 2, '55 for the vaccine?

No Google, but I did use my "The Year You Were Born" reference book.
Of course, Ike was sworn in twice ('53 and '57). But the other pics tell the tale. 1953.
JAN 1953
Maybe I know where you are going. Menards is making box cars to commemorate the end of the Korean war 1953?
1952..............final guess...............Paul 2
I changed my mind. I forgot the swearing in was the next year so 1953 this is my final answer...........Paul 2
Jonas Salk gave his family the polio vaccine in 1953, but the massive polio vaccine trial didn't start until April 1954.
So, maybe 1953 is the correct answer, but I was hoping for 1952 (KFC founded in September) or 1955 (McDonald founded in April). As you can see, I was hoping for a another fast food building.
President Eisenhower was sworn in ( 1953 ? )and found out that Aliens was visiting the earth.
So another outer space item from Menards like the flying saucer is on tap to be released?
I believe!!

I like it when you just announce your new products without the games.
