Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[BobPalma]

Got some photos from a 2nd cousin today. One of them has a picture of a cousin of my Dad with her husband and some kids taken on a street sidewalk in Chicago in May 1956. I cropped out the part showing a parking lot across the street where there is what looks like a '55 Studebaker "C" body coupe.

'Sure is, Jeff. 'Looks like a first-series car, judging from the two-tone paint treatment. BP

Don’t know anything about this picture. Looks like it might be back-row (some call it ‘bone row’) trade-ins at a car lot.

Hey, watch how you talk about where I used to do my shopping!
Seriously, it looks more like cars someone was holding on to. They are too interesting as a group. The exception might be the Chevy 4 door. There was a time though, when older convertibles were usually on the back row along with Studebakers and other non-big 3 brands. The Jeep with the plow was probably just something they used in the winter. We can only guess.

I would be surprised this hasn't been posted before but I am too lazy to look for it. So, just in case..

I can positively identify 3 Studebakers in that photo, including a truck which appears to be a 3/4 ton or 1 ton.

Stepping of of this at the wrong time could get messy!

Within the past year, I think.

Supposedly this is Santa's Village near Lake Arrowhead in So. California. My apologies if it has been posted previously.

Don't know for sure, but maybe the 1958 Kansas City Auto Show?

Is that a Stude rear end on the left?
