Screen shot from Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds" A few frames later the guy with the cigar sets a fireball in motion. The liquid on the ground by the Plymouth Crandbrook is gasoline from the previous screen shot. Since the movie was shot in 1963, the M and the Plymouth were old cars that didn't cost much to go up in flames.

True, they were old but that Plymouth was a 2 door hardtop, pretty rare even back then. My dad had a 51 Plymouth, plain jane 2 door sedan around that time that I loved, nicknamed the "Puddle Jumper."

#6067: I got a bit surprised to see a DAF truck but then I noticed the licenseplate on the Studebaker & so I figured the photo must be taken in A'dam.

Dad had a 1950 Plymouth 2 door black that had bed sheets for seat covers that was traded in for a new 1956 Commander Snow Cap White/Sunglow gold. Loved as a kid to watch the "Cyclops" turn colors as we went down the road.

Regarding #6082;

While this building burned down about 20-25 years ago, the Benz franchise is what allowed it to survive. Bob Wondries actually had the Ford dealership a mile or two east of this location (north side of Main St., east end), where their Nissan dealership is currently.

Anyone else think the pickup passing to the left in the background (below) is a '39 Coupe Express also? (Photo courtesy Old Motor Newsletter and Americar)
