That doll is scary size. Not sure I want to see it's frontside.

The girl's skirt in Sid's photo is pretty short for the early '50's. I would expect that more from the '60's.

Do I spot a D500 emblem on the trunk of that Texan sedan? Great photo!

Great picture of that Texas Dodge, which also has questionable doors alignment with the rockers showing typical manufacturer standards of the time. Wonder if the paint is sun faded or is just the picture.

Nathan and Sid --
"The girl's skirt in Sid's photo is pretty short for the early '50's. I would expect that more from the '60's."


"unlike popular believe mini skirts and short shorts are not a mid/late 60s "invention". if you watch old footage from the 50s or even 40s you can see plenty of them."

I think that chick is wearing Bermuda shorts, especially with the long socks and tennies. From the shadows of the trees (no leaves, but none on the ground), it looks like an early spring day. Those were my salad days and I remember them quite well. But I'm not the guy in the pic -- he's being far "cooler" than I used to be.

I'm not sure if these '61 Chrysler above and '55 Dodge below are old photos or current photos with retro mode

...and here I am, obsessing about every fitment appearance detail on my 58 year old restored car, while this brand new vehicle, used in a factory ad photo shoot to boot, has poor hood to fender gaps, misaligned fender to door side trim, and rock chipped valance installed too low (or bumper too high)!

Earthquake ???

Sonoramic60 - 2017-06-15 10:32 AM Lads -- Considering the model year of the car and the style of dress, my guess it would be the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake.
