1952-59 Ford Fords from the past.

Is this from Cuba?

 

Yes. Good job identifying the location! Havana. Here are a couple more from the same collection. License plates help with the location.

 

Any idea of what Army fort that picture was taken at?

It's a WWII barracks, most were exactly the same, all over the USA. I had a 8 week stay in one at Ft Polk, LA.

 

Looks like he has Airman stripes. probably an Air Force Base.

 

I'm sure your right, I didn't look close enough to see those stripes.

I remember those building well! It was said that when I was there ('66) they could burn to the ground, in about 15 min.

 

Ft Polk for me also in 67. Memories are fresh aren’t they.

 

Looks like Lackland AFB in San Antonio. I went through basic there in the Fall of 66.

 

Is this why 4 doors are considered unexciting
4 doors have the conservative looking people in the photos, 2 doors and convertibles have the sauve looking types and the ladies are more fashion concsious (T-birds are up a level again)

 

What about these "fashion conscious" four door ladies?

 

I heard that these fashionably dressed people hosted a pretty good party on the day that they posed for this picture!

 

I generalise, and I pay the price
Probably spent too much time looking at the T-bird photos on thsi thread

 

It's awayways nice to have a spare.

 

I think I would be running that one.

 

Happy Father's Day!

 

Is this "up a level" from the T-birds?

 

The Attack of the 50 Foot Marilyn...?

 

the T-birds sure are something else. I still reckon they look like a channeled & shortened Customline though

 

Got some Aussie flavour here

 

Are those straps over the rear glass to keep it from blowing out or something? I guess this is an oval race car? Looks kind of neat that they lowered a 4 door like that... got any more pics?

 

Pretty sure it was drag racing, I would reckon the same as you on the rear window. 2 doors were ( still are) pretty rare here, almost all Aussie RHD cars 52 - 59 were 4 door sedans and Mainline utilities.
