Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[Greenstude]

This photo shows a 1939 Coupe Express. The picture was taken by me at Berwick, Nova Scotia, on October 15, 2011, during a tour by the Atlantic Canada Chapter SDC. The truck is in excellent original condition, with only the paint being non-authentic. At one time, the truck had been owned in Alaska.

On #2828 where was that picture taken? It doesn't look like South Bend- I don't remember their final line that close to the outside of the building, or was it?

It must be the Vernon CA or Hamilton Ont. Plant, looks like 1947.

Looks like the thread took a hard turn with some of these posts. Originally, this was about pictures taken back when the cars were new or in daily use. Many of these later pictures are of cars in collections or meets etc. Still good pictures and worthy of a look, but they don't fit the original intent. Not a real complaint. Just a comment.

I had the same thoughts just yesterday, I like the pix, but it's not what the title says.

I know where you guys are coming from, but the title does not saying anything about how old the pictures are supposed to be. "Studes in Roadside Americana" does not say no modern pictures.

I thought "Americana" was a song by Moe Bandy.

Please forgive me, I will try to do better in the future.

Americana refers to artifacts, or a collection of artifacts, related to the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States.^[1][2] Many kinds of material fall within the definition of Americana: paintings, prints and drawings; license plates or entire vehicles, household objects, tools and weapons; flags, plaques and statues, and so on. Patriotism and nostalgia play defining roles in the subject. The things involved (i.e. pictures) need not be old, but need to have the appropriate associations. The term may be used to describe the theme of a museum or collection,^[3][4] or of goods for sale.

No need. You can keep 'em coming as far as I am concerned. Your definition is absolutely correct....now let's get back Studebakers and Roadside Americana.....
