Here's a couple of pics from my family's reunion in Pa. in about 1960 .
That's uncle Roy's President , and at the far end , uncle Jim's coupe.
They were from the same town that I much later discovered , also was the home
of the Shrock Brothers . That is Coalport Pa .

Thanks Bob, I had never seen this picture before and was wondering about. Even without any knowledge as to where and when this was taken, I thought it was cool picture.

That looks like a '59 Eldorado Seville hardtop in the photo in the grocery store parking lot. I don't like '59 Caddies; however, I don't know if I've ever seen a real Eldorado Seville. What makes me think it's an Eldorado is the apparent lack of the side molding strip, but the lower molding down the side.

1959 Biarritz & Seville have the El Dorado name spelled out behind front wheel openings, and featured broad full length body sill (rocker panel) highlights (chrome mouldings) that curved over the rear fender (quarter panel) profile and back along the beltline region.

-Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946/75 / I added 'rocker panel' & 'quarter panel' & 'chrome mouldings.'

Pic is too small to make out these details w/my 69 year old eyes.

Post #2712: San Buenaventura Mission church looks very similar today.
