Studes in Roadside Americana photos

Here the fuselage of Lindbergh's plane is being pulled to Dutch Flat airfield (used by the Ryan factory to test planes including this one) from the Ryan factory for the final assembly of the plane that Lindbergh will use to make the first transatlantic flight. The Studebaker towing the plane belonged to Claude Ryan.

RE: #2445. I cant make out the license tags on the Packard and the Chevy Panel truck for what state that is (those don't look like early 50s MN plates) but I see the Stude has a completely different style/color one. Out of state driver? 4 lanes of traffic means a pretty large city, could it be Chicago or Detroit? Looks like the traffic is completely stopped though.

Wow! All 4 tires on cardboard, and no tracks in the gravel; I'm thinking crop circle?

I think I see "The Empire State" on the Packard. Maybe the Studebaker is from N.J.?

The Packard has a New York plate and, as you say, the Studebaker is from New Jersey. The Chev panel may be from Connecticut. Those three, plus the Nash behind the panel, are all desirable vehicles today.

Post 2454 is classic. Steam locomotive and Studebaker, what's not to love here.

The locomotive in 2454 is Canadian Pacific. The street car turning the corner looks like those used in Montreal.

I may have posted this before; Auburn Wa. Northern Pacific line at E. Auburn crossing East Valley Hwy.

More steam. I love it. Speaking of trains and Studebakers, the school where I work has a model railroad club and one of the features on the layout is a Studebaker dealership, circa 1948.

I love the angle of the shot in #2459. It really makes that Stude look like a living thing.
