That is me with my first car Bleach in the top image from your post. It was a hand me down from my older Brothers. I guess at 70, I now qualify as Antiquated. Our Mom who passed 17 months after I was born, handmade that big button coat that we all wore. My Sister still has that coat which has been worn by some of the kids and Grandkids in our Families.
c. 1951 - NW 26th Ave. & Upshur St. - Portland Oregon - Original a hotel built for visitors of the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition.
My friend and his dad drove one from LA (Anaheim) to Vegas in the summer . They were not looking forward to the return trip. For some reason the one they had actually seemed smaller than the one in the photo. I'm sure I'm mistaken.
