#1613 is near Grand Coulee Dam, WA. This may be the main street of Grand Coulee. (Several small towns sprung up during construction).

Had I been in charge, I would have gone from a Champion to a Commander, not the other way around!

#1631... where d'ya get a hold on such a pic???
I thought I knew every custom in Stockholm in the 60's & 70's but HERE of all places you show me one I've missed!
The reg-number shows it's a Stockholm city -registrated car but they changed the reg-plates in -73 & that was the end of spotting where a car was located.

And if I had been in charge~ I'd be wondering why it took them so long to build that 'first car of the second Century'!!!

Something told me that would be the case, but I never researched it. I was thinking that maybe the party they had on the 15th may have had some sort of Union mandate for a day or two off to recover or something...

We didn't do that sort of thing in the NAVY- my bad!!!
