A lifelong resident of Kanawha County, G.W. was born December 31, 1918, the son of the late Howard Hansen and Florence Lilly Thaxton. Upon his honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy after World War II, “G.W.” owned and operated Stonewall Service Station on Charleston’s West Side for nearly a decade. General later retired from the Kanawha County Board of Education. His long standing membership of the First Baptist Church of South Charleston helped instill his Christian values in his family and all who loved him. He had a strong dedication to the needs of his family and community and always lived life to the fullest exhibiting the highest ethics and moral fiber possible. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 384 Location: Hershey PA | From Spinout's posting above, 16th picture with plenty of FLs and the 58 Olds on the left side, there is a rear end view of a 1959 Desoto SW (thanks Mark) in the center of the picture Does anyone have an idea what the location is of that picture? | ||

Those two at the Shell station need to be killed by the fashion police, along with their bagpipes ! :laugh: Doc, They already gone! The guy looking under the hood of that filthy Station wagon is probably thinking " what the heLL am I to do with this hot mess!!" Some interesting pics further up this page. The 60 Imperial with the Imperial badge in the grill center is different to all I have seen before, I wonder why it was moved?? The 318 squadron F-102A tail flashes are brilliant. I searched up and read the history of how the FL emblem ended up on the squadrons planes. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for posting that pic Sid. I wonder if they had Chrysler's blessing to use the emblem, or if the modification made it unique? Steve. | ||

Definitely Europe. Probably Holland based on: a) the totalled car is a 1960's 4 door BMW probably a 1800 like the 1968 below: b) there is a Simca (I think) peaking out at the rear of the ambulance c) looks like a Renault truck in the background d) the copyright logo on the photo" rijks....org" = Dutch e) the skinny wide plate on the abulance is white on black which fits the time frame for Dutch plates (see below) Edited by 56D500boy 2017-09-01 4:46 PM | ||

I'm betting it was President Eisenhower though.Too bad there's probably no other infomation about this photo. The car behind the Eisenhower car is a 1956 Imperial, but the Eisenhower car is a 1955 model. The LWB sedans and limousines added a small fin to the rear fenders as well as modifying the side trim for 1956. Production of 1955 Crown models totalled 172, not enough to justify new rear quarter panels. Thus the addtion of small fins. As there is no one in the driver's seat, have a pretty good idea who was chaining up the tires.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 406 Location: Hilltown, PA | Based on the numbered hood, the "over the top" protection, the completely unpainted car, and the background, I would guess this is a factory production line photo. Can't identify the car though. Whether or not you call that a body man is between you and the body guys you know . . . Gregg | ||

Expert Posts: 1819 Location: Vancouver, BC | 1960 Body Man - Looks like someone working in the prototype shop. Prototypes would be built by hand and then painted, trimmed and sent out to the test track. They would also be used for early promo photos and brochure work. Some of them were neat like the 1963 Valiant that was a Signet hardtop on the driver's side and a V-200 sedan on the passenger. This car reminds me of the 1960 Valiant with its sloping rear end and cat's eye tailights. | ||
