Studes in Roadside Americana photos

I believe that picture is of Fred Fox's Father, Mother, Fred and brother Roger. The Land Cruiser was fairly new at the time on a family vacation.

That's correct. Fred Fox is the shorter of the two boys. BP

"This Studebaker sure seems to get around!"

Same car in both or in all 3 pics?
There's a front plate on #6369.
...and what is that, some kinda race?

Maybe the front plate fell off? The odd positioning of the dual outside mirrors, plus the sticker in the windshield low on the passenger side suggest this is the same car as the other two pictures.

Skyway, they are probably all from someone's photo collection. Maybe Joe can fill you in since he posted them all.

I got all three photos by doing a Google Image search. The only explanation I got for each is what I put with posts here. My assumption is that all three are the same car. Although seemingly hanging from the rear view mirror on the second photo, all three pictures include the canvass water bag. Mirrors are located in the same place in all three as well.

At least the gorilla didn't lay on and dent the good car in the picture!

And if you look at the Buick's steering wheel being vertical in 6364, I'd bet that driver didn't fair too well either.

That's the truth, Ken; 'way too early for a tilt/telescope steering wheel option!

(Without seat belts, that accident is severe enough to have been a double fatality. It took a buttload of force to damage a 1955 Buick that severely.) BP

The Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado. Was the highest bridge until 2001 and the highest suspension bridge until 2012. Built in 1929.
