In the days before pasteurized beer, the live ingredients present in keged beer DID require the shipping and storage of kegs in the cold, hence the reefers. Some of the larger brew houses did have reefers done up as rolling billboards. It is true that they were rare. Today the concpet of 'billboard reefers' is very pupular and hence the creation of artwork that is not a prototypical reproduction. I do not know the time period when it became 'normal' to process all beer with pasteurizing, eliminating the need for refigeration. i think that in 1959 your probably fine. Bottled and canned beer has always been pasteurized and can be shipped warm. Cheers!
