Btw, see the picture for one minute, then you will find that you and your PC desk begins to slide downhill along the streets of Frisco. So life-like it feels.. These three images reminds like View Master imagery.And even greater is the SF roadside! But it seems that the red line says "no parking"? I think the Buick might have parked there because of the matching color rims | ||

Expert Posts: 1488 Location: New Castle PA | This is NOT an old picture -- it was taken last year, I believe. It's my good friend Garry Yazell's beautiful Firedome sedan, but with the "old scenery" and the photo turned to black& white for effect. Could very easily be mistaken for an old photo!

Expert Posts: 1728 Location: Fleetwood, Pa | I'm sure "back in the day" more cars had blackwalls than whitewalls. But I would think more Chrysler New Yorkers had whitewalls than blackwalls from the factory.......shame we can't go back and start counting.... Edited by sidesho_bob1961 2013-02-21 3:14 PM | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | I came into the old car scene pretty well dialed in on the whitewall concept ... old cars had whitewalls. It was part and parcel with being an old car. God wanted it that way, and so it was done ! Then I met some "more sophisticated" cats in the old car scene who swam in the waters of Packard, Pierce, Auburn, and Cord. Many of their cars wore blackwalls (much to my chagrin) and they were more than happy to let my know (in their best country club / Harvard accents) what a silly fool I was and that I clearly didn't know sh!t about squat (more chagrin). It took a long time, but I finally replaced my Devine Providence paradigm with one of real world reality, .. and no, not all cars back in the day wore whitewalls (nor should they now) and that the Depression era survivors were often a hard-to-get-your-head-around group whose frugal outlook was like nothing we see in America today. Even those who had money did not necessarily like whitewalls, or saw them as exessive, or an excessive display of high falootin' arrogance in a car. They might step up and buy a Lincoln or a NY'er and still roll it around blackwalls as a statement of conservative "Yes, I have money, but I have it because I am frugal in how I live". These types often disdained flashy public displays of status and referred to those who did so as "new money". To me, a NY'er level car just looks "wrong", as such an upscale car, on anything but "proper" whitewalls, but I well understand that some owners DID buy and maintain them to look more like a bottom-of-the-line Plymouth. A phenomenon that in itself was a unique part of that era. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Mr. Moore lived up the road from our place when I was a young. Born in 1883, he once told a few of us neighbor kids about the first time he ever saw a car. It was at night, and the loud, popping, back-firing "thing" with lights on it came at him as he walked down a country road. He said all the hair on his body stood on end from fright, and he pushed out into the darkness of the field along the road to allow it to pass. He still did not know exactly what it was until days later. When I knew Mr. Moore, he kept a gold 1966 Chevy II 2 door hardtop in his tin shed. Down the road, Mr. Scramlin drove a 56 DeSoto Firedome sedan. He was a WWI vet and was about 80 in the mid-70's. His family gave him endless grief over that "old car" and was always pushing him to get a new one. He was perfectly content with his DeSoto. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | d500neil - 2013-02-24 8:17 PM ...Look under and around the Plymouth's left front tire. ======================================== I see what *might* be a tire track or skid mark that is highly obliterated by post accident footprints. I would expect pre-crash skid marks to be a lot more "dynamic" than something easily erased by the boots of the tow truck driver, etc. When doing accident investigations, what you see there is not considered to be very telling, unless you are seeing something I cannot. | ||
