This car (way up this page)...has the standard Eggshell colored wheels that were installed on the 1957
Dodges, except for the cars that had the small 'dog dish' hubcaps on them.

Altho this photo would appear to represent a brand-newly bought car (hasn't had time to install the Spinners, yet,
and he's got the 'boot' installed, for the portrait of his purchase, in maybe 50-degree weather) there is some wear
and tear (rust?), already, around its lower rocker area, and this photo was probably taken in early Spring (the
ground is saturated, the trees have no leaves and no budding-out).

The top-boots are always matched to the interior scheme, and not to the main-body-color, or to the top's color,
so this ride has the gold/black interior in it.

With respect to the 57 Dodge convertible and also the 56 NYer above, they are both from the Buffalo area

New York used to profile license plates by major city/county from the 30's well into the 70's. Buffalo would use B, BU or BF. Erie County would have E, EC or ER. My uncle who lived in Buffalo had 6B-614 as his plate number thru the 60's

For 1958 the plate was yellow with black numbers/letters. For 1959 a black tab with 59 in yellow was used on the rear plate (only) over the 58

For 1960 the plate was black with yellow numbers/letters etc

The Dodge has a yellow plate indicating it is at least the spring of 1958 (or 62 for the next cycle of colors) Can't tell if the Dodge in the background has the 59 tab which would make the picture spring 1959


The NYer is also from Erie County (2E-xxx)plate is from 1960. There were A & Ps in the area in that timeframe and Super Duper was new to the area in the early 60's

Just guessing here, however it looks like a forward wagon below the billboard?

A 1958 Desoto convertible at this time it was just a clunky used car. (1984)
