  • I came across this one while watching an old french series.
    I post it here as it has been filmed in Peru (No, not in Indiana!).

        • Having owned one, I can't believe how small the Tire Store is in #9633. From the rear they could probably only deal with one car at a time(unless the store continues to the left in the photo).

          • Bill, If you had been around L.A. in the 50's , you would have seen places like that in Frost and French on Western Ave. Plus there was a Stude dealer on 3rd. Street in Santa Monica, that had alley ways behind the buildings, where you could get a number of cars in. That tire shop in 9633 also sold refrigerators.

            • The hoodless Buick in #9633 caught my eye. I remember as a kid seeing several old Buicks being driven without that big 'side saddle' hood.

                                And your '91 Acura is over twice as old as that Studebaker was in 1961!!
