Studes in Roadside Americana photos

Post #11076??? Fremont st. I see the C/K back there, but what kind of pickup is that coming toward the camera?

Kurtruck...(Opps...I spelled your name backward) I know I am bad with numbers and have to check and recheck to get them right. But your post above was #10997. Since that post is 79 posts until post #11076 happens...how can we know the answer???

Unless maybe this so-called upgraded forum is supplying different post numbers along with some of the other quirky things it does?

To the question on Fremont Street in Las Vegas in 1960, my squinting eyes on the slightly larger picture thinks the truck is an International K2. Vegas at the time did have some rural areas still around and it may have been a Saturday when it was time to come to town.

Straining hard to find a Studebaker here, but it doesn't look like Studebaker had much market penetration in Columbia SC.

However, look closely in the extreme upper right corner of the photo. There's a black and white car (black roof) that looks like it might be a 1957 Packard Clipper. What do you think?

I'll say 53/4 Land Cruiser or early '55 President.

It doesn't appear to have a wrap-around windshield.

Good point, Chris; I agree. BP

Hey, ya gotta wear your Letterman's sweater, no matter what the weather. They weren't cheap and they sometimes got the girls.

As you say sometimes they got the girls, but with a cheerleader letterman's sweater?

You have a point Bob. I got mine in Gymnastics and feel fortunate I still have it.

Here's a great group of photos. I think you can find a Studebaker in one of them if you don't look too close!
