Seen here before, but – like others before – now scanned and incorporated in the postcard website,
with crop, Streetview and Maps.

Adriana,

In the above black and white snapshots, .... namely the P-X, Wigwam Stores, and McDonald Real Estate photos ...

Where did these come from ?

The P-X looks to be taken at the corner of Main St. and NE 108th in Bellevue, Washington. The church in the far
left background is a dead giveaway.

The Wigwam store looks to be at Eastgate Center, up along what was old US 10.

The McDonald Real Estate looks extremely familiar, but I cannot place it. By chance did you get these three from
the Seattle area ???

That's cool... Sorry that the image has to have a watermark... I was very excited when I found an 'Oscar Motel' in Canada, which is still there (to bad I can't go park my suburban under the neon)... adriana

What's better than finding a Holiday Inn on America's great plains after a days worth of hard driving? Hot cup of joe, cool dip in the pool, nice sleep, get up and do it again.

Keep these post cards coming!

Adriana,

In the above black and white snapshots, .... namely the P-X, Wigwam Stores, and McDonald Real Estate photos ...

Where did these come from ?

The P-X looks to be taken at the corner of Main St. and NE 108th in Bellevue, Washington. The church in the far
left background is a dead giveaway.

The Wigwam store looks to be at Eastgate Center, up along what was old US 10.

The McDonald Real Estate looks extremely familiar, but I cannot place it. By chance did you get these three from
the Seattle area ???


The b/w ones are from Washington... They were found in an old sign/ neon shop, and the photos were of signs they had made or had to improve upon... I do not have the originals, I found the images on the internet... adriana

Adrianna,

The Oscar motel is a very well known place for travellers heading noth of Montreal.
A very nice place indeed. I plan to go up north soon. I will try to take pictures of the place and see if I can buy a postcard for you.
If I remember well, the place was pretty much intact.
I will let you know.

I thought I had already posted the Motel Oscar here before, but checking several pages back, apparently not.
So, here it is. On the postcard page itself you can see how it's now

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

Wow ! What are the chances ?

In 1966 my family moved from S.F. to Bellevue, Washington. The P-X store with the Norge cleaners stood at the corner of Main and 108th. There was a Chevron gas station on the actual corner (off the right of the Norge sign). You are looking almost due south and Main St. is just out of sight as the parking lot curves down over the slight incline. It would run left-to-right on the far side of the church. 108th is out of sight to the right. If you went west (right) on Main down to 104th, and turned right, halfway up the block you'd find B.C. Hawk Dodge, where I cut my teeth watching the new 1966 Dodge Coronets being unloaded. Back up on 108th and eight blocks behind the camera, Metke Ford kept my best friend mesmerized with their assortment of Shelbys on display.

Mom would occasionally shop at the P-X store when we were downtown. Eastgate was closer to home. Wigwam stood next to Fisher Drugs, which stood next to Safeway. It was classic 50's strip mall / "shopping center" architecture, with an indoor breezeway / walk-through from store-to-store. Dairy Queen stood behind the camera. And that 57 Chev wagon is the exact car we were driving back then, .... copper and cream too !

I wish I could place the McDonald Real Estate Office, but it definitely rings a bell from the murky mists of my lost childhood. Wow !

I assume this may be a factory photo. The fit and finish of this Imperial is pretty bad, even by Detroit standards of the day. I would not be surprised to learn that the door seals leaked like a sieve. Detroit is doing much better these days thankfully.

I think this is a 1956 Thunderbird because it has the Continental kit and porthole hardtop.

That would be fabulous! A t-shirt also if they have one I'll give you the $ and postage... I love it how all the old motels have postcards, something I discovered half way through my Route 66 trip... Adriana

this has to be one of the rarest FL cars ever, a one year only export model 1959 Dodge Kingsway Lancer (based on the Sport Fury) alongside another mid '50s Thunderbird and a '57 DeSoto in the South of France.

I find it hard to believe some of the cars you find in these pics...

Look at the one of Riverside Plaza from Adriana. There's a DKW in that pic! How does a DKW come to be so prominent in a random postcard photo in the US?

"How does a DKW come to be so prominent in a random postcard photo in the US?"

Just lucky, I guess; right place, right time. Riverside Plaza is probably Riverside, CA,
and the imports were popular on the coasts at the time, close to where they came in
to the country. On January 1, 1957, there were 87 DKW franchisees in the US, and
115 one year later, according to the 1958 "Automotive News Almanac."

Here are the import numbers for several years, from the AN '63 Almanac...
