Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[Mr. Bill]

I don't think we're there yet, guys; even a 1953 Dodge has a kick-up similar to the Willys cited by Craig. BP

I just knew this was a '53/'54 Dodge...

1953:


and a 1954 (ok, not a cheapie, but a Royal and with factory Airtemp to boot!)

Bill, a 1951-1955 Kaiser would have had the "Darrin Dip" in the top center of the windshield, no? The car closest to the camera in 2592 clearly does not.

Yes, I know this, but...what other car had drip rails mounted well above the doors like this one does?

How many other cars beside K-F had this type of outside door pull handles?

I've owned 338 vehicles since 1956, have 100's of books on automotive history...so I'm pretty good at ID'ing car parts...on or off the vehicles.

It appears to be a steel cargo box with exterior building lights.

Ah, ofcourse Ed!
Thought of a drum first & then why someone would throw away that in a container & what the stuff next to it/in front of it would beeeeee...

To add a Studebaker content to #4618 the '47 Caddy Convertible, Isn't that a GM/Guide backup Light very much the same size and shape maybe with a different mounting as the Guide Unit used on '56 Hawks?
