Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[JRoberts]

Joe, I am glad you include Canadian photos. You have an amazing collection of pictures.

Thanks. I really do not have a collection as such I just post pictures I find here and there.

[aarrggh]

Somewhere in Canada . SOMEWHERE !

You sure that's a pre war pic? According to "Studebaker Cars" by Jim Moloney, the hood front emblem looks like the type that was only used on 1946 Champion Skyways.

If this is the case, the gal is smiling because the Allies have won the war, new cars are available again, gas and meat are no longer rationed.

The Packard could be NY , and the Studebaker could be NJ.

Cars used to be such a great place to pose for a picture! With today's cars....who cares?

#2498 has to be in the south or west, Joe. The 1959 Ford wagon across the street documents the Studebaker being at least ten years old...and it wouldn't look nearly that good in a rust-belt climate! BP

Looks to be a BC plate....it has a mountain range in blue at its top.

Even better, Bob--there's a '60 Dodge across the street!

#2488--Man, I am loving that '56 Bel Air convertible!

I wonder, Bob; could it be a Colorado plate? IIRC, Colorado also had mountain ranges on the tops of their plates.

Also, note the Champa Bar signage at the top of one building. There is a Champa Bar in Denver; I checked:
