Some great pictures of cars, stars, places and people from the 50s. There is Studebaker content if you look hard.

Thanks for posting this Pat. I remember the ducktail haircut (and the greasy palmade used to keep 'em just right!). I wonder if Ricky Nelson owned that cool roadster or if it was just a staged photo.Joe Roberts

Great memories. I'm a child of the '50s and I appreciate those good old days. By the way, I did spot a Studebaker coupe in the drive-in photo. Looks like it might have been a '55. Not sure though.

Thanks Pat, what great history. I even saw my old '59 Dodge in there. I had no idea what I had at the time, it was just a car.Perry

NW Corner of Lincoln & Olympic Blvds in Santa Monica: The Penguin restaurant sign and building is there today, but it's now Dr. Beauchamp Western Dentist.
One block east (NE corner of 9th & Olympic) is where Paxton Products was located. Building extant, it's now a foreign car repair shop.Last edited by WinM1895; 12-17-2013, 10:09 AM.
