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.

Yeah, regarding my earlier post about the pic...marry one of the twins and you end up with two "mother-in-laws!"

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?

Hemi's in stock autos were fast, as in top speed, but never quick. I remember a dark red one that showed up at Milan Dragway and the track in Windsor in the late '60's. It was in the same class as my '52 Starlight. I embarrassed him badly both places and never saw him again.

While not on the road at the moment I was planning on taking the camper out for a drive but it started to rain and with all the crazy people around here I thought better of it. People around here do not know how to drive in the rain as the body shops can attest to. Getting ready to change out the front clip. Hopefully tomorrow that happens.

HOXXOH, in sweden the dragracing started in the middle/late 60's, until then it was just racing all the way on normal roads & before -67 we had no speed limits on highways & bigger roads so topspeed wasn't that awfully bad to have plenty of...

From "Odds against tomorrow", a 1959 film noir directed by Robert Wise. In one second, the Saab will crash into the Studebaker.

Americana in Australia:

The police driver is R King with that '62 Lark being allocated to the Wireless Patrol of the Victorian Police. They registered 328 Studebakers between 1962 & 1966, perhaps a world record for Police Forces?
