Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | Those 'Plodge' transporter photos are great! Although in the photo that features the truck driver, it seems a '58 Olds made it on board amongst the Mopar products. And thanks Jim, for replacing that blackwall on the '57 Belvedere. If it's not too much trouble, could you change the oil and fill her up so I can take her out this evening? Here are two photos, the first labelled Fort Collins, and the second unmarked.

Expert Posts: 2474 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Nobody bothered to comment on the Chrysler Royal I posted on the last page... I guess you blokes didn't recognise it... And in the 'unmarked' parking lot pic above, surprisingly I see a mid-fifties Austin A50 or A55 near this end of the line. Now what I want to know... is the dark car on the right a '60 Dodge, or am I deceiving myself?

LOTS of photos like this were taken in Chicago during June, 1958. I will have to go through my Chicago slide collection and see if I can find other shots with Forward Look cars. K. | ||

Not gonna draw much comment from the U.S. crowd. Speaking only for this Yank, you blokes got sold a bill of goods with those toady McUglies. 57 Plymouth or that Austin ? Not even on the same planet ! | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Couple comments .... the Belvedere immediately above is a 1956 ..... and look how radically sleek that blue 57 NY'er looks amongst the other cars in front of City Hall. After 30+ years of playing with FL cars, it still hits me like a brick sometimes just how wild and new the 57's were in their day. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | I can almost hear the pennants flapping in the wind! In the second NYC photo posted above by Dave, I'm wondering what type lot is that. Surely not a salvage yard? The black '58 looks like a convertible, with bumper 'wings' and a missing hubcap! Here are two more photos, the first is labelled Little River, South Carolina. The second is not labelled, but it looks like northern California, just across the Golden Gate bridge perhaps?

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | Those are some great Philly photos, Dave! Here are two more photos. My guess for an explanation for the unhappy bride would be the '60 Ferd honeymoon car, rather than the Dodge wagon! The second photo speaks for itself!

Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | hemidave - 2011-04-15 5:39 AM Toronto in the 50s At least for the first photo, it is actually the early 1960s. I own a good chuck of this particular photographer's negatives and her first trip to Toronto was in early 1962. I have a bunch of her Pittsburgh stuff posted in this thread. K. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 347 Location: Ocean Park, Washington | Those color shots makes me think I can jump right into the scene and be a part of that world. I was born in 1966, but I sure wish I could go to the mid 50s. I tell people I should have been in my dads generation. He graduated in 1957. | ||
