Extreme Veteran Posts: 468 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Georgia | Those 'Plodge' transporter photos are great! Although in the photo that features the truck driver, it seems a '58 Olds made it on board amongst the Mopar products. And thanks Jim, for replacing that blackwall on the '57 Belvedere. If it's not too much trouble, could you change the oil and fill her up so I can take her out this evening? Here are two photos, the first labelled Fort Collins, and the second unmarked.

Bouth are 4DS cars, the green one is a Windsor or Saratoga - the black one might be a New Yorker, but it's impossible to see from that angle. | ||

I guess you blokes didn't recognise it... And in the 'unmarked' parking lot pic above, surprisingly I see a mid-fifties Austin A50 or A55 near this end of the line. Now what I want to know... is the dark car on the right a '60 Dodge, or am I deceiving myself?

LOTS of photos like this were taken in Chicago during June, 1958. I will have to go through my Chicago slide collection and see if I can find other shots with Forward Look cars. K. | ||

Not gonna draw much comment from the U.S. crowd. Speaking only for this Yank, you blokes got sold a bill of goods with those toady McUglies. 57 Plymouth or that Austin ? Not even on the same planet ! | ||

Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13805 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Parts Unknown | Couple comments .... the Belvedere immediately above is a 1956 ..... and look how radically sleek that blue 57 NY'er looks amongst the other cars in front of City Hall. After 30+ years of playing with FL cars, it still hits me like a brick sometimes just how wild and new the 57's were in their day. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 468 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Georgia | I can almost hear the pennants flapping in the wind! In the second NYC photo posted above by Dave, I'm wondering what type lot is that. Surely not a salvage yard? The black '58 looks like a convertible, with bumper 'wings' and a missing hubcap! Here are two more photos, the first is labelled Little River, South Carolina. The second is not labelled, but it looks like northern California, just across the Golden Gate bridge perhaps?
