Expert 5K+ Posts: 7398 Location: northern germany | Yes Joe, I notice the badge! I always thought this would have been a nicer place for the 1960 scare emblem. The 60 Furys side is already pretty busy, so I put one GC badge on mine on the deck lid too, and that way the competition can look at it a lot better and longer As you might know, I own a similar 61 with a GC, but not as nice. Bare-bones car with manual steering and only options a GC and Torqueflite. I really love the dash pic^, is looks kinda mythical! As for the emblem placement on your BTB, I do believe these were prepped by a special team from the factory with all the components. Look at the inner fender cutouts, they do not appear to be OE/factory either.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7398 Location: northern germany | These lack the car-show "in-factor" and exclusiveness of the Sonoramics and D500s so I do not believe they are reproduced. | ||

Expert Posts: 1287 | Sid -- The BTB doesn't have the removable fender well access panels as it not only is an early production car, but may well have been a factory mule when it came down the line at the St. Louis plant. In addition to not having the panels and the weird emblem placement, it also has the early threaded ball-and-socket carb linkage rather than the later slotted rods. But the production records show it really was a ram car at the start even if it is an anomaly which I think makes it all the more interesting. Joe PS, The second photo from the top looks like Colorado, perhaps Silverton | ||

The 1rst and 2nd photo were taken in Colorado. The 1rst is Loveland pass. | ||

Never seen that before in the 50s. Are that 57 Chevy wheelcovers? Yes, the wheel covers are for a 1957 Chevrolet - a one year only option. Those "holes" are not holes but phoney holes (with bottoms) and the insides painted black. 1956 Chevrolets had a similar wheelcover with phoney holes but the centre of the cover was different. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9900 Location: Lower Mainland BC | I bought this out of France on eBay. A4 glossy photo print. From the back of the photo below: "June 1956: Aspects of life in Southern California, including cars at drive-in restaurant(s), drive-in laundromat(s), drive-up bank(s), shopping center(s), visiting Disneyland. In a 1956 Dodge Custom Royal convertible in the very mid-Fifties color scheme of coral and black. Maurice Terrel for the LOOK magazine assignment "Los Angeles: The Art of Living Bumper-to-Bumper" The Kodachrome experience" If anybody wants a better image, I've scanned it at 11Mb and, if I reduce it a bit (to < 10 Mb), I could email it to you.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9663 Location: So. Cal | That's really cool. Any idea which Bob's Big Boy that is? Might be the current Lucky Boy in Pasadena but too hard to tell because of all the changes it has gone through. It's definitely Southern California as I don't think that looks like Phoenix. Unfortunately, there are only 2 of them left that are old drive-ins in California and one of them was converted from Johnie's Broiler. The other 3 are newer constructions. That Pantorium Cleaners is still there and still has the unusually shaped drive through. Pretty cool. The original sign is much better looking than its replacement...

Barry sold the DeSoto around 1986 to someone who wanted a collector car. The idiot drove it a bit, then parked it under a tree and left it to rot. The New Yorker went to Alberta with Keith and from there I think it eventually got scrapped....... It was loaded even had A/C. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9900 Location: Lower Mainland BC | That is Jasper Avenue in Edmonton. I used to live there and take those wicked accelerating electric trolley buses to work from Jasper and 124th to Jasper and 100th across from the Hotel McDonald. My wife (at the time) worked as an illustrator in the advertising department at Hudson Bay store (the one on the corner opposite People's Credit Jeweller's). Cold city in the winter with lots of snow. Long summer nights if you could handle the mosquitoes. Edited by 56D500boy 2019-08-02 7:32 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | Found this interesting photo on a FB post: "Parking lot scene # 2, in Banff, Canada....Family vacation in 1958 or 1959." Why is that interesting? Because my own 1957 Plymouth Suburban 2dr wagon was: - originally sold new in the PNW - painted Marine Blue poly with Sand Dune White roof - optioned with door & quarter panel trim spears - had the standard "dog dish" hubcaps What are the odds this is an old picture of my car? I guess we'll never know! But I like to think it might be.
