Niel Hoback Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 There's a Kaiser/Frazier in front of the Western Auto, but alas, no Checker. Quote
littlemo Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Don, lots of early 50's, but isn't that a "light-colored" 53 Chev Bel-Air across the srtreet?? So the pic would have probably been taken in 1953??? ( I guess it could be a 54, but without seeing the tail lights I couldn't say??) Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 No Checker because there was no cab service in this town. I went to High School in this town and was in that Western Auto store many times. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Cool Hand Luke would have a good time with a pipe cutter in that town.. Quote

Olddaddy Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 I'd love to get a closer look at the bus in the upper right line of cars.... Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 I think that chevy is a 54 from the parking light shape. 53's have big round ones. Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 Here is another picture of the same street. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 sorry Charlie, looks like they moved the bus... Quote
littlemo Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Don, I've been on the forum for a couple of years now, and always pay close attention to your posts. But, I do have a question; is there "anything" you haven't saved or stored somewhere in that garage of yours??? You do seem to "come-up" with some remarkable "stuff"!! lol... Cass, alias littlemo .

JIPJOBXX Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Cool picture Don!!! I think I detected a hudson convertable? In front of the Western Auto Store! Quote
Niel Hoback Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 I think that may be a Mercury convertable. Quote
