In addition to the R Series Pickup In the Corner of the Stationary Co. parking lot behind that first Car, it looks like a Light colored '56 or '57 Hawk.
I could just be a '53-'55 C or K or NOT. Most of the cars do seem to be Pre 1955.

The used car lot at lower left is part of long-time Stude dealer Armacost Motors.

If Radio Roy were with us today, he would have at least a comment or some input on this picture from Minneapolis. When I transferred to the main U campus, I lived about four blocks from "Uptown" and that was in 1975

Appears the “World” theater is now torn down but was at 16 N. 7th?

Someone with a Studebaker wagon might have been looking at the new Edsels . . . Collision Chronicles facebook group.

Nobody is smiling in the picture of the Edsel's. Maybe they felt it was a harbinger of the future

Facebook picture. I think that’s a bullet nose Studebaker, or a ‘49 Ford. Hard sayin’ not knowin’.

It is a 50 Champion. Studebaker in 1950 had several optional bumper/bullet nose guards and that one is a rarely seen optional guard

Couldn't it be a Henry J?

Wow - three lined up at an angle - rarest of the rare shots from the wild . . .

And another one a little farther up. At least 4 in the shot, very high Stude representation. The 53 really stands out in that crowd.

About twenty years after this was taken I endured my wedding reception here - by then it was called the Crazy Horse Saloon and rumored to be owned by Neil Young - but at least we took off afterward in my Daytona hardtop.
