A midsize town between Reading and Allentown once home to the Fleetwood Metal Body Company, an automobile coachbuilder founded in 1909. The company was purchased by Fisher Body in 1931 and became part of General Motors. The name continued in the Fleetwood model Cadillac.
The town is along an active rail line that was once the "East Penn" branch of the Reading Railroad.
All B&W shots were taken with a newly-acquired Bronica Zenzanon 65mm f4 lens.
