Thanks for the info on the the Firemite What an amazing miniature I honestly can say that I ever seen one till now. Just the picture of it makes me want to start building them………LOL .

Expert Posts: 1287 | Lads -- I can't say for sure, but that photo of the "Fountain Mot"-el may have been taken south of Colorado Springs in a suburb called Fountain, CO. Even though it must have taken some 60 years ago, it bears a great resemblance to a run-down tenement next to I-25 now. Joe | ||

Expert Posts: 1819 Location: Vancouver, BC | Re the "5 dodges" photos The last one is a nice shot of Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. Must be sometime around Dominion Cay (Canada Day, now) with the Eaton's department store displaying the Union Jack and Canadian Ensign flags. Or if it's 1959, the Royal Tour by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip. The rare car in this photo is the 1957 Buick Estate Wagon (or if its a hardtop wagon - Caballero) behind the Flxible Twin Coach FT2D-40 bus. The dark blue Dodge is a 1955 2 door hardtop - either Mayfair (6 or V8) or a Regent 6. Only the Mayfair was available with a V8 in 1955. Regent and Crusader models came only with a flathead six. The other Dodge is a 1956 model. The first photo was also somewhere in Canada. Many Studebaker dealers in Canada were gas stations with a showroom after the 1950's. This Imperial Oil dealer also handles Datsun. One of the Winnipeg Studebaker dealers around 1965 was a Shell station and also handled Sunbeam cars (by then marketed by Chrysler Canada). | ||

I see a "V" on the front of the dark blue 55 so it must be a Mayfair. Agree the hidden Dodge is a 56 because of the hood ornament has 2 bars (56) instead of the 1 (55). As far as I can tell both of the half tons (the Chevy and the Ford) are 58s based on the four headlights and their respective grill and hood ornaments, etc. No evidence to support or deny 1959 Royal tour. (but it could be). Edited by 56D500boy 2017-04-05 6:29 PM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9855 Location: Lower Mainland BC | hemidave - 2017-04-06 9:03 AM '55 Plymouth 1957 Plates had no "Garden State". 1959's did (maybe for the first time). REF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_New_Jer... "In 1959, New jersey adopted the standard sized "buff and black" license plate, which replaced black and orange plates. This design remained unchanged for 20 years. This license plate added the "Garden State" slogan " for the first time. (David Nicholson |15q.net)" REF: http://www.nj.com/traffic/index.ssf/2016/04/nj_license_plates_throu... So 1959 at the earliest. Smail Ford "This photo (courtesy of Bill Cook) of Smail Ford Used Cars in Pleasantville PA was taken in 1960." (Happens to have a 55/56 Plymouth on the lot) (There is now a Smail Ford in Greensburg PA) so there is a story why the Plymouth has NJ plates. | ||

Or if it's 1959, the Royal Tour by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip. That was then. In 2002 things changed: "In July 1905, a five-storey building opened at this site along Portage Avenue as the western Canadian flagship for the T. Eaton Department Store chain. Three additional floors were added in 1910. It was demolished in 2002 to make way for a sports arena." (Go Jets!! ??) | ||

Expert Posts: 1819 Location: Vancouver, BC | That shot of Eatons being demolished was taken from the south east corner of the Eatons property, NW corner of Donald and Graham, actually diagonally opposite from the original photo. The building in the background is Newport Centre and has a large "Rogers" sign on the upper storey of the building now. In the old photo of the Eaton's store you can see part of a sign on the side of a building - "MITC" - for Mitchell-Copp Jewellers. That building is where Newport Centre now stands. Have many memories of that Eaton's store as a kid. Going with my mother shopping, wandering through the candy department (you could buy candy by the pound!), seeing Santa Claus at Christmas, waiting for the bus in -40F weather. Was born and raised and spent my first 31 years in Winnipeg. | ||

Expert Posts: 1287 | 56D500 -- The current Wyndham Hotel is built on the same site as the second Antlers (the one pictured) which was torn down in 1964 so the third "Antlers" could be erected there. It later became the Hiltom Antlers and Wyndham Antlers. The Cheyenne Hotel is now the Phantom Canyon Brew Pub and the intersection is Cascade and Pikes Peak Avenues. The old Rio Grande RR station is just a half block directly west (and behind) the hotel and across the street from the hotel's adjacent Antler's Park. Joe Godec | ||
