Regarding post #4816...Notice that there is no car on the "Used Car" lot over 5 years old. Few of us are old enough to recall, that back in 1954, those who could afford "new" cars typically "traded" at two year intervals. "Five year" financing was unheard of. Zero Down financing was unheard of, and you wouldn't dare see a sign that claimed..."Bad Credit...We will sell!" You were lucky to get a 12,000 mile or 24 month guarantee with small print that read whichever comes first.

GOSH! I could've had a V-8!

Somewhat unusual, only two cars in this random photo and both Studebakers.

Obviously the patrons of this restaurant had good taste.

The dealership across the street didn't have enough parking.

I thought of a lot of possible captions for this picture, but yours is the best!

Are there 3 Studebakers in this picture? Not many random street shots show that many.
