Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[kurtruk]

There are several interesting/rare vehicles in this photo. Besides the three Studebakers, there is at least one, (possibly two) Kaiser/Fraser, a Willys (Lark?) and a very rare Austin A40 Somerset convertible which may be two toned, adding to the rarity.

And a Ford Sportsman Woodie (?)wagon back on the pile.

I can't find a Studebaker (admittedly, I don't see very well.) Is in on the track, or the parking lot?

Sam, if you are talking about the photo in #998, there appears to be a beige or light-colored 1962 Lark parked with it's front up against that slanted wall at the end of the grandstand.

The Lark is immediately to the right of the tall, old two-tone truck that kinda looks like a Brinks armored delivery truck, backed up against that same wall.

You only see the deck lid and rear bumper of the Lark, not the sides or front. BP

Thanks. I see it.

Watch out! There's a Barracuda swimming through that water!

Good one! It's sort of a public photograph, at the Dairy Queens in our town, they have photos of their vintage DQ stands, one of which shows a black 50 or 51 Champion parked in front of a DQ.

Anyone else notice this decor item in their city?

....but the Studebaker is above it all.

....but the Studebaker is above it all.

That Barracuda is a '66, so that Stude in the photo is at least twelve years old. Looks great from what I can see.

I see the bullet nose in the front row. Are there any others in the photo I'm missing? I think the grille on the 4th car from the top on the first row of perpendicular parked cars looks like an early Studebaker I've seen, but I know other cars had that curved dished look (Ford?).
Is that another bullet nose parked just inside the sidewalk to the parking lot, right NEXT to the light post? Interesting image, the driver standing there makes it look at first like it's parked next to the light post behind it.

2 woodys, a cool Nash station wagon.
Sorry, but folks didn't park any better 'back in the day' than they do now.
