Expert Posts: 1363  Location: Apeldoorn, Netherlands | 1957 Dodge Lancer at the Silver Saddle Motel in East Phillipsburg, Kansas Could also be a 1958, but the color scheme suggests a 1957. Model not identifiable, except that it clearly is a 2-door Lancer. (1957 Dodge ForwardLook postcards) | ||

Expert Posts: 1363 Location: Apeldoorn, Netherlands | d500neil - 2012-12-06 8:17 PM Jim, can you or somebody photo-chop out the doorway, the parking meter, and the car in front of the IMP, in your postcard? It would be an incredible composition with those 'elements' removed from it! That probably can be done, but would be too much work. I've already restored the lighting and did some cleaning.

Here's the original. ======================================================================== Gasperetti's ! Now that brings back some memories. That was quite the place to eat in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's. Not sure it they are still around, but that was a Seattle institution for years ! Other Googie type upscale eateries were The Canlis and Domani's. I think Domani's is gone, but The Canlis is still the epitome of mid-century modern, outstanding food and atmosphere, and the obligatory piano bar. Plan on spending four to five hundred dollars on a dinner for two. But wow ! It is an experience.  | ||

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Did someone say "Canlis" ? Nice place. In fact, I've kept a fairly large collection of images for my Mid Century Modern dream house. THIS building's features encompasses almost all of the design elements that I would like to have in 'my' house. The only primary feature that is missing, from this design, is integrating my 10 car garage (with fully stocked mechanical maintenance facility) into it. (Note how the roof-window --and bearing walls--support design has changed---in the upper photo, the roof is very poorly supported; that has be 'rectified' with the additional supports, as per the night time photo.

Location: Parts Unknown | When the DeSoto was freshly finished, a trip was made to Canlis. Valet parking is mandatory. I wasn't too happy with turning anyone loose with my car. The electronic kill switch was initiated, and the car was still there in the porte cochere when we were done with out evening. I don't think they tried real hard to get it out of the high visibility slot. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7207 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | Speaking of Mid-Century modern homes, ( I'm more of a traditionalist myself) but I always loved the Mt. Rushmore House in the 1959 Hitchc0ck movie "North by Northwest", ( which I consider one of the best movies of all time!) . However I just recently read that the house was a complete fake. Looks like a Frank Lloyd Wright design though,.
