Not sure where this is back in the day, but proper parking was not a huge priority - or it might have been someplace where pavement and lines had never been seen before . . . Portals of Texas History website.

Could have been my mom. "Who cares? I'll just be a second."

It looks like a 1932 Dictator and a 1937 Dictator. Would the plural of Dictator be Dictai?

LOL not when these cars were on the road. Back then, the plural of "Dictator" was "Axis".

Makes me happy to see a Land Cruiser since it seems to be a reverse rarity nowadays being the unpopular and most produced model.

What's with all the '55 Fords?

Convertibles at a semi-exclusive country club in Florida in December: airport rentals, probably from Hertz (Avis was offering Chrysler products at the time).

Leo M Black motors of Austin, Texas, have a 1950 Champion for sale. And those history buffs out there, that tower is the subject of the photo - they have an interesting history: Austin Moonlight towers . Portals of Texas history webpage.

Was dated 1964, but that looks like a '66 Caprice next to the Lark. Things that make you say, "Hmmm..."

Could be a 65 as well. I had a 65 hardtop and the roof lines were the same. Picture could have been taken late 64 after the model year change was introduced in Sept.

No idea of location - Texas somewhere. Maybe a new bus station opening? Neon sign company needed an R series truck to do all their haulin. Portals of Texas history website.
