Two Studebakers side by side,and what is that behind the Caddy - could it be the third one?

I think it's a green '55 Plymouth. Like the white one to the right side of the picture.

FINA was not only in the maritime provinces. They were well represented in southern Ontario as I remember them in the 60's. By the way, they must have had grand plans at one time as I understand that FINA stood for Finest In North America. Love this thread.

Good one!! Petrofina is a huge Belgian-owned petroleum company, and their presence in North America is rather small.

Love the screen in the back window of that '58 Ford station wagon - make sure none of those kids roll out the back...

Gee, what makes me think #2578 is not a 50/60 year old photo?

Still snowing, so here are a few more. Gotta have something to keep me busy.



Can anybody figure out what the picture below is about? Scrap drive? Notice the Studebaker has "JUNKED" then "DELL FORD" on the side.

As I saved this to my pictures I noticed it had been labeled "junk race." I guess dealers raced old "junk" cars they couldn't sell.

I bet BP will have something to say about those repo-men walking all over that Packard!!
