Location: Montreal, Canada		The 1956 Plymouth convertible with Santa has light-colored fender skirts on it?? Weird and not very pretty with the busy side trim of that Plymouth.





Also the blue Plodge up there is not a cuban Kingsway, it's a canadian Dodge Mayfair. That's a Chryco-issued publicity postcard for Canada.

And That Havana Car is more Than likely Still There Roaming the Streets With Thousands Of other 50's Beaters

Location: Magra, Sweden		Unfortunately they do use salt on the Swedish roads causing the cars to rust heavily. This really nice Plymouth must been very well cared. Most cars from mid 50s was on the roads for less than 10 years. I've had the remains of a 54 Belvedere Sport Coupe that was parked for good due to rust already in 1960.

Location: bishop, ca		That is a very strange candid photo of that 56 PLY, above here....

No snow at all on its tire treads??????

One portrait trick, on contemporary automotive portraiture (back in the day of print film; before photo-chopping), was to
take fresh water and to clean/wash-off a car's tire treads, so they would lose their real world dirtiness.

OK...I do see some trace snow on the treads----that snow, and the tires, must have been equally
very cold!
