Department of Streets! Very Cool. Thanks for the photos

 

Rootie,
I have never seen those pictures of the Indy Cars at Daytona before. Thx

 

Hey Rootie,do you have any idea who sure-grip was this was my uncle Joe Giusti racing Sherman Clark in the early 60's also the shark nose must have been Sure-grip's logo?

 

Can't direct link to flickr pics, here's a nice couple of "yanks" in a 50's Bristol, UK, street scene.

Fascinating photo taken at the 1913 Delhi Auto Show ( New York / California, where? ) showing the Votes for Women stand. Interesting place to campaign and obviously allowed by the organisers. Here in the UK this would have not taken place. ( sadly).
I thought that by 1913, by virtue of the Women's Suffrage Parade of 1911, the women's cause was won leading to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment and thus enabling women to take part in the 1920 Presidential election.

 

Interesting that the Buick station wagon body production was contracted to an outside supplier (Ionia bodies). Buick wagons must have been pretty low volume numbers and I guess that would make them pretty rare today.

Mart.

 

IIRC,1954 was the first of Buicks all metal station wagon bodys'.
Up through 1953 all Buck wagons were wood clad.

Very interesting! I had dismissed it as a Dodge without a second look.
