What the f*!

Where did you get those pictures?!
Pretty unique, so many from our tiny spot on the globe ...

Love that Minnesota picture!!
That's got to be the Richard Bong Memorial bridge, I believe
Taken from the Duluth side looking across to the Superior WI side.

Bong was a famous WWII p-38 pilot that was in on the Yamamoto shoot down mission.
Survived the war and went into the test pilot program where he died in a plane crash.

I found them from Dutch forum called as "amerikaanseautopagina", under its thread "Yanken in de 70's in Nederland". I don't understand the language a bit, but the pics..

Btw, tell me what gizmo that '58 Dodge had at the front of the license plate? A hook in front of car?? This car had also unique round lamps over headlights. May be also side blinkers like ponton Mercedes (I'm not sure)?

It is an amazingly clear shot and looks as if you were there,thanks for identifying the location and history.The '56 New Yorker is in an unusual tri-tone Brown/Black/White,never seen those colours before.

Although the white roof looks a little "bright" against the more formal gold and
black, 56 WAS the big year for tri-tone paint, and it appears someone decided to
get a little wild and put white on that roof. I am far more impressed with the 1959
Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 in the lavender metallic and white with that solid glass turret
roof ! Even the low-line Dynamic 88 with dog dishies looked like a high dollar car in
this trim !

Or is that a Super 88 ? Either way, a striking car.

A wonderful picture. Thank you very much. I like this tri-tone combo very much! It looks very valuable. I don't know if this 56 New Yorker survived somewhere. Is it possible that this tri-tone combo was a special order (outside the standard tri-tone combos available for the St. Regis)?

Happy Motoring!

I thought that there was something strange with this photo from Holland. It is a 59 Chrysler coming out from the gate, but the car in forward is a 1960 DeSoto
4 Door Sedan. The belt line trim and the fins points out DeS.

 Only funny thing is, somebody painted this blue Plymouth red in your photo!
