Studes in Roadside Americana photos

Hey, is that a ZIP Van in the background?

I don't think so, for two reasons: One, the body looks too long and Two, the picture is probably mid-late 60s, probably too soon for a Zip Van to be out of Postal service and repainted for private use.

This has been a great thread and has provided me with hours of fun comparing identified photos posted here of the long ago past, with the same locales today (via Virtual Turnpike). Thanks everyone for all the photos you've posted in this thread. Keep them coming!

Regarding post # 646: The red and white '57 Ford Fairlane in the front row appears to have the aftermarket (J.C. Whitney or Warshawsky) quad headlight retrofit. Purchasing this set-up allowed an owner to update (questionably) their '57 Ford to the appearance of the '58 models with quad headlights.

The Ranchero just above looks to be a '57 with this kit on it.
