Studes in Roadside Americana photos

The black & white car in #8600, could it be a 53-54 Dodge?
(If so it might have the 241 "baby"-Hemi & be quite fast for its time.)
So, is it?

Remember a guy telling stories about where he lived in Texas, those bullet-nose front fenders would fill up with mud and rocks when the roads were wet - he said they would actually fill up to the point the front of the car would sit a couple inches lower because of all the weight...

Sounds like a bourbon legend to me.

Yes and could be. BP

Fella seemed more like a Lone Star drinker than spending good money of somethin from up north...

This is a featured photo on this week's The Old Motor's weekly "Four Fun Friday Forties, and Fifties Kodachrome Car Images". Check it out at http://theoldmotor.com/?p=163797. This weekly feature always intrigues me. There are often Studebakers involved. Cool that Dave scooped them on this picture. Way to go Dave!

Post#8618...Even if the car is relatively dependable...That Ford is carrying a huge load of "HIGH MAINTENANCE!"

Re: Post 8618 - I believe the two girls in the middle and right side in the back seat are twins. Check out their profiles and their clothing.

A good observation, Sam; agreed! BP
