By far 1950 bullet noses represent the largest percentage of "cars with people pictures"! They obviously had a great visual appeal and folks really liked them!

Can guarantee the driver wasn't texting, but it looks like the door airbag went off

Interesting that all the Studebakers I could find are in the same row.

Ideal candidate for that SASCO c-cab NOS cab body shell promotion....I believe the complete stripped cab was under $100!!

Okay, I know this is far away from "America" but I thought this was interesting. When I was a kid my dad was stationed in Asmara, Eritrea (and we were with him) and every once and a while I do searches for pictures of Asmara. This time I found this picture. The description goes like this: "Asmara during the British occupation of the 1940s. " I think it is more likely in the early 1950's.
