Location: Las Vegas, Nevada		Hey Steve,

Yeah, I know about the Boeing-Vertols and the Japanese cars on the Green Line.

They do have one "picture window" PCC, car 3295, for special charters for use on the Green Line. It now sports a pantograph and the old MTA orange paint.

I do need to get back to Boston for a visit as I haven't been there since 1974!

The last time I was there we went a wee bit further up the road and ended up in this Cafe and my girlfriend knew who owned all the houses on the beachside across from it one was at that time (2000)Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's (i think she's still there) and another was Janet Jacksons' both had '50s cars under car covers one was a FL and I think the other was a square T-Bird,did anybody else notice them or is it just me that remembers stuff like this,I google earthed their houses now but can't make out any cars.

50001000
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada		These were taken in Fort Worth, Texas during 1964. I've posted some of these before. At a time when a number of big stores began leaving traditional downtowns to relocate in the suburbs, Leonard's Department Store decided to remain Downtown. They bought some land about a mile and a half away. They built a huge parking lot there and linked it to the store with a mile and a half subway, using some rebuilt trolley cars they purchased secondhand from Washington, DC.

Location: bishop, ca		I like the view of the Fury's exhaust pipes; look to be 2" o.d./1 .75" i.d. ?

The driver's side pipe also looks to be longer than the passenger-side, but is that an illusion, from the bumper being
pushed forward; the wing looks like it's sitting at a funny angle, but I don't see any obvious evidence of impacts
on the bumper.

Are its wheels painted black?

Those are great pix you posted.

One little request .... can you include locations to your jpg code or otherwise ? It is real fun to know where these pix were taken. I would SWEAR that photo of the kid on the tricycle wheeling past the bent-fin Plymouth was shot at the old military housing north of Poulsbo !

Thanks.

Location: bishop, ca		MAN, Jim; you are GOOD (I don't care what anyone ELSE says!!)

Yeah, this pic was taken TODAY (on my 59th birthday; 7/24/09, for the record).

Used a print out of the former-posting of the DeSoto PC to (easily) find the place where it had been taken.

Both of their large Elm trees (the motel is located on Elm St.) were cut down, long ago---you can see them
suffering from Dutch Elm (Beetle) Disease, in that summer of around-1960.


Happy B-day 2-moi!

Here's another fun one (I think): Thieme's Inn, 303 Richmond Rd, Williamsburg VA.

I found the exact same building still in use, on Google Earth's Street View. Can you imagine? Don't need to, just look for yourself...

There's some kind of business in the building now, College of William and Mary Lynn Riggs. and I've sent them an email with a copy of this (incredible) postcard, but didn't hear from them, yet.

It's located here on Google Maps.

And eh, oh yeah, it's a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Convertible D500. Pretty unique, I'd say...

Location: bishop, ca		It's conceivable, and highly probable, that ALL four DeSotos in these last four PC's belonged to the photographer.

Certainly, the Desert Villa & Bay View have the same kibitzing Soto in their parking areas, and the photog
obviously liked to have a distinctive car!

I believe that was determined earlier. His car sure screams for attention.

Location: bishop, ca		Yeah, but: the Elms Motel and the Buellton Motel are NEW submissions!!!---I get credit for Finding-Waldo, in the
Elms Motel pic, and in the Buellton, too.

This PC photog should get his OWN thread!

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada		How about a Forward Look Era dealership?

BTW, the two trolleys in the foreground ran between Milwaukee and Chicago until early 1963. These particular cars weighed 52 tons each and had a top speed of 90 mph.

Believe it!

Bad things happened to those who wouldn't wait and drove around the gates instead........

That old Ford would seem to have reached the end of its road. And any occupants theirs, too.

And don't forget, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth... and I think Hobart and Launceston and Newcastle as well... used to run trams. Adelaide still has one service, IIRC.

Location: bishop, ca		Ray---here's a good non-FWDLK question: why isn't there (????) a cross-OZ railway?

And if there is one (should-be), how cum it isn't, like, World-Famous-----probably just too-much Outback to cross
compared to air-travel-time-convenience?
