Hey....this is a photo of my grandmother, Josephine Braun....and her LaSalle....

 

Another relative of mine....my grandmother Fern Toomey and on the rear fender is my Aunt Dodo, her sister with their Dad's Chrysler. Where did you get my family photos?

 

Google. You, or someone, must have put them online. Nice pics!

 

Enjoying the captions...Thanks!

 

Gary, thanks for all the Portland photos... My neck of the woods.

Here's Bob Tindles lot in Portland. I've heard rumor the 63 Vette was the 1st one in town before the Chevy dealers had one, but look what's parked at the curb.

 

Lowcat - Tha A/A in the pic is perfect! Was that car lot ''high performance'' only? Lots of nice looking stuff there.
Need a time machine, I wanna go shopping!

 

Damn, Bob Tindle's 32 Tudor is up there in my all time favourite cars. This car changed my mind on just what can be a real Hot Rod!
Love it!

Doc.

 

Bob Tindle was indeed a Hi-perf car dealer,,And the 32 sitting at the curb is his,,The famous"ORANGE CRATE",,,was in many magazines

 

Thanks for the info, wasn't the Orange Crate lettered later in life?

 

Anyone want to buy this?
