Gary, GREAT pic of a car that's rare nowadays! My wife's Dad had a Lincoln Premiere like this too, canary yellow with black top and the same engine FoMoCo used in the Mark II and the Turnpike Cruiser -- beau coup torque! First brand new car he ever owned. (I still have a brand new NOS nameplate script for this model, too.) What a land yacht! And what an era in motoring, eh? (This is the chassis Packard tried to deal for to build their all-new '57 full-size models, BTW. Ford declined, claiming they could barely build enough for their own needs. So, we wound up with "PackaBakers" instead!)

 

This photo is part of a post on The Old Motor all about the 1933 and 1934 Fords and the Century of Progress Expo. We also have a neat photo of a tudor sectioned lengthwise and set up at the expo. See it all on The Old Motor.

 

JFK.... where was this taken? would love to hear the story on this one...

 

Its a Photo F-8 squadron receiving the attention of the Prez. Suspect something from the Cuban Missle crisis. Probably Oceana, Va

 

I love this picture. I've owned a couple of the cars shown ('62 Impala, 69? Nova, 6x Mustang) driven a couple of others ('67 Malibu, Fishbowl Barracuda, Karrmann-Ghia, and something very like that burgundy Pontiac), and lusted after a few more.

Definitely from the sweet spot in my driving history.
