    Are you looking at 5021 instead of 5022, Ed? BP

          Donahue Motors was on 2nd street in Albany Oregon. Just Googled the address and it looks like the building still exists. It is now a Spa. Other then some paint the building has not changed much.

            • Must have been the nasty blizzard of Chicago in 1967. I've seen a few other photos of that one.

                'Prolly so, Craig; I don't see anything newer in the photo, do you?

                Check out what appears to be a dark-colored 1966(?) GTO convertible down the street. I'll bet it's been advertised as "never in snow or salt" since then. BP

                • Anybody else think this scene is a fake? Using die-cast and model RR diorama props?

                  Cute, anyway.

                    Naw, it's a real shot; the lighting is diffused with clouds or something. Billboards were certainly eye-catching back in the day!

                        You guys are correct it is an Oldsmobile 1928 or 1929. Sorry about the mistake, I was going by the explanation with the picture.
