It wouldn't be much fun to drive over an water/ice covered, smooth, elevated bridge structure.

The bottom one is US Highway 90 at Biloxi,just along from President Jefferson Davis home Beauvoir,I haven't been there in 10 years but it hadn't changed much up until then,probably has since then due to Hurricane Katrina.

I have visited Beauvoir and the Jefferson Davis Presidential Library too. My visit was in February 2003 so this was pre Katrina. The Grounds of Beuvoir sustained considerable damage during the storm and it is estimated that they lost 40% of their artifacts to the storm surge. Phoenix-like though, Beauvoir, the home President Davis lived in for the remainder of his life, has been rebuilt to its pre-hurricane appearance. The Presidential library was also rebuilt and will be reopened in 2011 - probably in April for Confederate Memorial Day. If you're curious about Beauvoir here is their web site: "http://beauvoir.org/index.html'

OK...so those are merely ice/water-grip ridging.

It wouldn't be much fun to drive over an water/ice covered, smooth, elevated bridge structure.


******************************************

OMG ! ...... you've seen how tires literally polish steel plate laid over street trench work ? Can you imagine
how slick such a bridge deck would be with just some rain on it !!!!!! Never mind ice or snow !

While I have never stopped the car to get out and look, just from glancing out the window, the grille-type decking
looks to be about 2-3 inches thick and is comprised of multi-profiled bent flat bar, standing on end and riveted
together at connecting points. It is much stronger than one would think, but creates the illusion than one could
easily fold it under the weight of a car, and in the car of the Hood River Bridge, plunge what looks like about a half
mile drop into the Columbia River !

But to the point of the cars getting the *shimmies*, with all those on-end flat bar profiles contacting four different tires,
all at different angles of those profile edges, can really get the car feeling like it is sliding, ..... except that it never really
goes any direction but where the steering wheel points it. It just continuously feels like it is starting to slide.

Location: bishop, ca		That red Soto is now listed in another PC-auction, but, someone here (not me), is apparently going to buy it before its image gets to be posted on this thread.

Fair enough.

Please somebody: collect this photographer's images, and create a formal thread, showcasing his extensive work, on it.

5000500050005000200050025
Location: Parts Unknown		The photos above showcase some interesting cars.

In the border crossing shot, that is a 58 Savoy in my favoritegreen color. Typical to this not-so-often-seen color is
the white accent roof and sweep. Note the rarely seen 57 Chevy 150-series 2 door sedan in monotone robin's egg blue.
While common compared to most FL cars, the bottom-of-the-line 150 has never found much favor with restorers / collectors
and have often been parted out for the ever-present Bel Airs. I have always found this side trim and color sweep option
most attractive .... moreso than the upline models.

In the Holiday Inn shot, note the Sunshine Yellow with green sweep 58 Suburban. This is not a Custom Suburban as Jim
notes, as the Custom series had the kicked-up side sweep out back, with the plain Suburban having the lower, DeSoto-like
sweep. Or could it be a 57 ? Hard to tell at the distance of this shot. Not being as familiar with the 57's, did they come with
a sweep like this ?

Either way, the yellow with green sweep is quite striking and a color combo I have never seen in person. The colors look a
bit "enhanced" in this photo from what I know as stock colors for 57-58, but a neat shot anyway. It looks to me like the
roof is not green but yellow like the rest of the body.

That said, you have a wonderful collection and a great website to display it!!

Thanks for the compliment, David!

I really do appreciate that. I am still working on it, to make it more user friendly. I was thinking about the early adaptors wit their iPhones, to direct them straightly to the postcard's location.

At the bottom of each page there's a link to my e-mail address that should work. If you - or in that manner, anybody else - send me a message about a mistake (which I realize there must be), I will surely correct it and really appreciate it!

Jim.

It might have been a special paint job. You can see the Holiday Inn logo on the passenger door. It was probably on the driver's door too. The original Holiday Inn sign around this period was painted yellow and green so maybe the franchise owner painted his "station wagon" the same color to advertise his business. It does look attractive..and the color combination is one I don't remember seeing before on a Plymouth.

Good detective work ! Cut yerself an extra slice of raisin pie there, eagle eye !

I can also see the further extended 1958 headlight bezel, so it is indeed a 1958, and that would confirm it as
a Suburban and not the Custom. Those colors are quite flattering on that car.

Location: bishop, ca		There's been some discussion about how the contemporary buying public could forsake the appearance of
the FWDLK'ers, in the 60's....

Exhibit A is the appearance of the 1960 Chrysler, against that of the 1959 Chrysler, as seen in 4-posts above
here.

The 1960 CHRY represented the hope and appearance of the 60's..the 1959 CHRY represented the history of the
just-passed 50's.

I don't even know if the TERM "retro" was invented, before 1970...

The 50's stylings were looking backwards; the 60's stylings were looking Forward.

Of course, now, EVERYTHING is looking backwards, and the comparative merits of the two decades' stylings
can be compared and contrasted objectively, and subjectively.

But, back in the early 60's (when our cars were literally disappearing from the landscape, or, INTO the landscape--lolol)
virtually nobody mourned the passing of the FWDLK'ers..... because everybody was looking Forward, to the Moon.

BTW, that PC, above here, with "Goldwater's" department store on it, was obviously taken in Phoenix/Scottsdale AZ and
that store-chain belonged to the family of Barry Goldwater.

Location: bishop, ca		That 60 CHRY's got 'em.

Back in the 50's, (semi-)serious consideration was given to atomic-propulsion for automobiles (at least one DeSoto
rendition features a Helium atom--2 electrons-- as being one of its nameplate-emblems)...and remember all
those Bubble-top canopies, and "automatic-control" interstate freeway systems???


DAYUUM!!

It would CLEARLY be a popular site!

The cab-over truck in the background sure looks interesting ! Anyone know what it is ???

Here's one from where the rides DO work, plus the busstop at Sears.

Location: bishop, ca		That's a 1960 Valiant.

'Sfunny, but 60(+) Val's (and '61 Lancers) are "Forwardlook" cars, strictly-speaking, but 62 CHRY's and 62-63 IMP's
are not officially considered to be FWDLK.

I need some help identifying before I put effort in this postcard.

I think it is a 1957 Chrysler, but do not recognize the badge on the rear quarter pane.

What brand/model car is this?

It is still standing and it is listed on the National Register of Historic landmarks, so it has a protected status. It was renovated in 2008:

They did...

I don't know how far it went, but certainly for the Q and the R.

Our independent naming of the models began with the AP5, which was 'Australian Production' and took over from the Chrysler Royal... which had the AP1, AP2 and AP3, there's a lot of conjecture about what the AP4 might have been.

Some also say it stood for 'Australian Plymouth' but I don't think that's right.

ooops... my mistake... yeah, i knew about the AP "australian production" and have heard people say that it stands for "australian plymouth" i guess because the designs are so similar to the american ones...
