That was cool, I love seeing stuff like that. The photographer that got credit for that was Jerry Hirschfeld, he had a good career as a cinematographer and was cinematographer for Young Frankenstein, Fail Safe and quite a few other movies. I recognized his name and after looking it up, he's 94 and living in NY. Lol.

Thanks for the find, a nice slice of Americana!
