Studes in Roadside Americana photos

[BobPalma]

Do you see any options on that '59 Chev parked on the street immediately in the foreground? Craig

Yes, Craig; I do. The little fender rockets on the top front of the front fenders were standard on Impalas and Bel-Airs, but would have had to be a special order on Biscaynes, unless the dealer added them. BP

From The Old Motor today.

A Pace Car duplicate on the way to an event? BP

Nox, you realize I wasn't referring to the Oldsmobile. Rather, to the Scottish Heather and either Corsican Black or Maltese Gray "400" hardtop on the extreme left. BP

In Post 10760 there must have been an SDC PARTY going on at that place!
There is not only a '54 Commander Coupe, (with a 54? Stude Lic. plate)

Actually, the plate reads [O STUDE]

but a '55 Speedster, and the L/R Fender of a '53 Commander 4 Door!

...and I was thinking in what universe would there be THREE 'Bakers, 2 Chevys, and 1 Ford?

I stated the month year and location, under the photos, in the original post.

Rich (#10765), how does one know it's a Commander & 4 indstead of 2 door sedan?

I know, because I was there, when the photo was taken and many other times as well. I rode in that '53, which had its original 232" with Automatic trans, quite a few times, and may have even driven it, a short distance, once or twice? I realized, no one could tell, from the photo, after posting it. That's one of the reasons, I later added the Body #s!

NO, I am not psychic and was not there so...

I also missed it at first, but the Poster of 10760 gave the Body Codes of all the Cars,

I didn't originally think to include them, but later edited them in, because I thought it was interesting, when I also noticed they were in reverse chronological order!

so they COULD have been HIS in 1977!

In 1977 the '54 was mine, and today it still is. The other two belonged to a Buddy of mine. Who, if I recall correctly, also had a '51 or maybe it was a '52 Champion? In the garage, at the time, just out of view in this photo.

Yes Bob, I did realize that! I just found it rather interesting that these Oldsmobiles was the same model & color.

Off topic, Malmø county plates (Sweden) quite some time ago:

Nice picture, nice truck.

Curious how this must be a 55 Speedster

S2DELUXE, that posted the picture, later posted that he knew the cars and owned one (see post 10776).

Having owned my great-grandparents 1959 Ford Galaxie town sedan, I am geeking out on the two ‘59 Ford wagons. Actually, if you pulled just the wagons out of that lot you would have the makings of a good car show today...thanks for sharing.

[BobPalma]

That's right, Patrick; they didn't call Ford "The Wagon Master" for nothing, you know. BP

I also see a rare 1961 DeSoto four cars over from the '59 Ford tudor wagon.
