    Just a neat old shot taken at the Laeger Drive In @ Laeger West Viringia in 1956. It was shot by O. Winston Link ... a well known photograher of railroads and such.

    What make and model is the convertible ... closest to the photographer ??

    It would be interesting to know IF any of these survived ... and what they look like NOW.

    Here is more info on O.Winston Link ( 1914 / 2001 )

    '51/'52 Buick Super. Might be Link's own car-it appears one other time in the book-at a gas station. Believe me, the cars in the photos are the least of the importance.

    Fantastic photography!,,amazing all the work that went into setting up the photo but capturing the plane on the screen at the same time must have been a stroke of luck. HRP
