 Expert Posts: 1642 Location: The Bat Cave, Racine, WI | Definitely the Hollywood and Vine photograph was made in 1960 or 61 as look at the city vehicle making a right turn. That's got to be a 1960 or 61 Studebaker Champ 1/2 ton pick-up.

Elite Veteran Posts: 949 Location: California | Chopper John - 2010-06-17 10:02 AM And these, with the attached story by a 300 Club Int'l member: Here are 2 photos of my in-laws, John and Martha Pope and daughter Thelma with their original 57C the day they brought it home in Montana.....they had a good year on the ranch as they bought the Chrysler, a Dodge 2 ton truck, a Dodge power wagon, and a 57 Plymouth for the son's high school graduation present. The baby in the photos is my wife Thelma....she is now 47 and we have her dads second 57C that he bought in Kansas in 1964 or so as he just had to have another 300C........I thought you may like to see these photos..........Thanks Rusty and Thelma Roe in Hermiston, Oregon. The '57 Plymouth in the last photo has the rare lower bumper bar! (Original_300_photo_2.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Original_300_photo_2.jpg (61KB - 7 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 6270 Location: Spokanistan | Dunsmuir didn't look much different than that when my Did and I and the family dog went through there in 1966 in our bronze and cream 57 Bel Air wagon. In fact, I think the guy in the Rambler with the surprised look was still in that same spot ! | ||

Regular Posts: 99 Location: AG/ZH, Switzerland | imopar380 - 2010-07-13 6:43 AM Holy cow- check the size of the tires on the black 60 Chrysler limo above! Ian - I guess the tires on the limo are 9.00-15 truck tires. These tires are looking ways bigger than the new 235/75R15 white walls with the wonderful wire wheels on your '60 Saratoga. Happy motoring!

Expert 5K+ Posts: 6270 Location: Spokanistan | WTF is wrong with this world ? Look at that modern photo of the same location and honestly tell me this is in any way improved over how it was in 1960 !!!! %$#@! Ugly and devoid of character. Looks like a $#@! freeway through a gravel pit !  I drive that road occasionally and was clueless that it had ever been anything more than another ugly stretch of road. This kind of homogenous, code-driven, by-the-book, standardized ugliness speaks volumes about society today. This ain't my Grandfather's America ! | ||
