Expert 5K+ Posts: 7395 Location: northern germany | in the late 50s/early 60s a german camera team around hans domnick traveled the pan americana from north to south manifested in a wonderful film called "traumstrasse der welt". i will never forget watching it as a kid in school. wonderful pictures, with spherical music. one of the reason i fell in love with that time period. the book was issued in the later 60s and there is a whole paragraph praising their 1959 buick electra 225 convertible.

Expert Posts: 1287 | Dave -- Although it's not really close to the camera, the top photo is of the "Kissing Camels" formation in the Garden of the Gods here in Colorado Springs. The center line of the road kinda points to it if you look at what appears to be a hole at the top of the formation just to the right of the notch. Joe | ||

Veteran Posts: 188 | Here is a small contribution from my side for one of my favorite sections in the forum. The pictures below were taken in California in the early 60s as far as I know. Both people wife and husband Shirley and Brian are friends of mine who emigrated from England to the USA in 1960. They are not into cars, but they owned this nice Desoto station wagon for several years. Here is what they remember about this car: "We bought a monstrous 1956 Desoto Firedome station wagon. This little baby came with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, a 4.5 liter V8 engine and air conditioning. It had automatic transmission but if we wanted to change gears we pushed a panel of buttons on the dashboard, and, for the first time in our lives, we had a car that would actually accelerate going uphill. We were now able to take trips of two days or longer by buying a piece of foam and folding down the rear seats thereby converting the vehicle into a luxury hotel."

Location: Parts Unknown | As a guy who is well familiarized with sleeping in cars, the back of pick up trucks, the dirt, airport hangars, ratty old motels, and even some pretty fine hotels, I am thinking it might be a stretch to call that wagon the Hotel DeSoto ! Sounds like the most loaded 56 DeSoto wagon I've ever heard of. Never seen one with PW and A/C. | ||

The snaking curve makes me think it is near Butte, Montana. | ||

Expert Posts: 1287 | Lads -- The bridge in the top photo is the Royal Gorge Bridge and is some 955 feet above the Arkansas River below. The Royal Gorge itself is actually just a few miles west of Canon City (here in Colorado, the "Canon" in Canon City is spelled with the Spanish "tilde" over the first "n," so we cal the town "Canyon City"), about six miles long, very narrow at the top (ca. 300 yards) and bottom (perhaps 15 yards), and as high as 1250 feet above the river. It is an attraction for bungee jumping and also suicides. The bottom picture is looking south down Tejon Avenue and which once was the site of "Tour Tejon," a very large car show that filled that street and adjoining ones in the 1980s. Joe | ||
