Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[Noxnabaker]

Not to worry; it's a Studebaker, it DOES have brakes!

And the blue Lark in 2755 is heading straight for the bicyclist. Does he score???

As a serious cyclist in my younger days who was "scored" upon twice, I find it rather odd to make a joke out of hitting a cyclist with a car. Sorry but it happens far too often to joke about.

[aarrggh]

Maby & probably I was just going by a feeling... that was wrong! ...but I just had to google & street-view Dam Square in Amsterdam & I can onestly say that either I'm really out of my tree or else they've torn down the building in the photo & built a new one since 'bout ten (10) years ago...
Gee, where's that tree of mine now then...?

Hey Nox , I cropped that pic a little so you all would maybe think it was in America . Did`nt fool ya ..
Here`s the full pic ................

Was this a movie lot extra car parking lot?

Not a standard paint scheme on a 56 Ford Custom with a two tone top and solid body..


Or this

It seems Richmond was definitely a GM town when that picture was taken. Besides the Studebaker, there is a bathtub Nash and a 1946 or 1947 Pontiac Streamliner (fastback), two Fords and two Chrysler products. Virtually everything else is GM.

Add another Pontiac, no Packard had three chrome mouldings on the front and rear fenders.

Queue up at a ferry crossing? or at a funeral home?

In #2766 the Dodge's paint aint that awfully unusual.
& now that I've seen the whole Dutch picture I might think that the beautiful building might have been replaced... but it seems strange, maby I'll get to know later on & maby not.

It's correct as its a Customline. Fairlane's have the roof and lower body below the side mouldings tu-toned.

Add another Chrysler product too, in front of the Nash.

You are absolutely right, Joe. My apologies. I see it in the news all the time and it is not funny.

Thanks for the info.. Must have been a regional thing. As the 30 or so 56's I've parted out, all of the Crestline/Customs were one color.
