The "Olympia Diner" postcard has been recently re-popped; I've got a couple of them in my collection.

And, there is ANOTHER 1961 all-tan Windsor 4-dr sedan, shown at/on the Caribou Hotel postcard, at Loring Air Force Base, in Maine.

AND: doesn't that '57 Adventurer look a tad out-of-scale, compared to the nearby early-50's Chrysler, and that '57 Chebbie convertible?



I can only see one '61 Windsor at the Caribou Hotel and a '57 Belvedere,can you spot the FL trade-in at Ralph Pool Cadillac.

It's mine too. I've got over 975 of them stored in a file and use them for
my "screen saver". I sure hope my computer doesn't crash !!!!!!!!!

I don't know what to store them on. It would take a zillion CDs to store
all of these pictures.

Here is a location full of photos from the 1960's. The gentleman that uploaded the photos, Hans Melin, sure did enjoy taking photos of everyone he knew next to their car. There just a few forwardlooks, but these are all worth seeing because of the old cars and scenes in the background. So cool!

Here is a wierd one - a 1966 Sunbeam Imp taken in California in 1967. I don't believe I've ever seen one of those. Must have been a car that had limited distribution.

Also here's one for Big M: a torrid red 1957 Mercury

The Sunbeam (whoever came up with that name?) has the towbar attached just as it should have. We had those in Sweden - I don't think they got any better by the cruise over to the states.
Note that it has SVE for licence plate, which in turn ar short for Sverige (Sweden)

HATE to disappoint you, but that's a California Black Plate and the letters and numbers combination is probably just a random grouping. I think this car was used at a San Jose Cadillac dealership to pick up and deliver cars. We had a 1967 Type III hatchback for just this purpose at the VW garage I used to work for too. Maybe they sold Sunbeams for awhile too? After all, there were dealerships that actually sold Yugos too back in the 1980s. JUNKY as hell.

I'm sure the guy Hans Melin that took all these photos in Cali during the '60s was Swedish because some of the shots were taken in Sweden/Norway too,like these ones.Sunbeams were part of Chrysler Corp by the late '60s.

I wonder if "The Ambassador" is still as remotely located, as it was, when the aerial photograph was taken.

Think I would have named it "The Oasis"!

This whole thread has some super pictures of old

REALLY close at somebut I have found at least one
FL car in almost all of the pictures. There were a very

This whole thread has some super pictures of old
motels/hotels and FL cars. I've had to look REALLY
REALLY close at somebut I have found at least one
FL car in almost all of the pictures. There were a very
few that I simpl couldn't find a FL car in, but not many.

Thanks for the trips down memory lane again, everyone.

..Check out them PARKING lights, in operatiion!

Whoever he is, he's too Kool, to bother with using the headlights!

And, in 'my' photo, check-out the 63 Fart, whose owner must think that all the
OTHER cars are being driven in the wrong direction. Good thing it's not an
ENGLISH car, huh?

Absolutely fantastic! I check in here every day just to see the latest additions to this topic, which is my favorite.

One thing that continues to strike me is that most of the vehicles are passenger cars, and it's wonderful to see all those beautiful examples from the 1950's and 1960's. The streets and parking lots are not cluttered with pickups, vans, SUV's, etc.

Stationwagons were the SUV's of their day, and, the cars were large enough so that carrying a bunch of stuff, and
passengers was not a big deal.

Roads were routinely salted, and skiiers chained-up, when they went into the mountains.

Same location.

Look at the changes over the course of a decade. The '57 Plymouth in the postcard view is the newest car I see. Now look at the black and white photo. The Pontiac and the Chevelle are circa 1966.

I point out the model years of the automobiles to set a time reference. Look at the buildings, streetlights, condition of the trolley feeder cables, etc. Also note that in both photos, people dressed more formally than today. Even casual wear had buttons and collar.

I wonder if that is the same police officer in both pix?
