Saw this one today...

 

Love that last photo...

 

What is the car with the front end styling obviously inspired by a '55 Ford???

 

Kinda creepy with that vacant mansion in the background

 

Thanks Wojojo.

38FordPickup - The pink and white one in the 6th photo down? It's a 1960 Hillman Minx.

 

Was Hillman affiliated with Ford, or did Hillman just like the '55 Ford styling enough to copy it?

 

Sitting rotting no longer.. A friend found this one so now its homeward bound!

It has been sitting for 30 plus years in Mile City under an Elm tree but no longer..

Looks like it's mostly still there, great catch!

 

The grille does look like Ford, but Hillman at that point was styled by Raymond Loewy's design group and influenced by the contemporary Studebakers. Not easy to tell from that angle but look at the side view of one next to a mid-fifties Stude four-door and it shows.

 

Thanks for clearing that up Chris.

 

1956 DeSoto in a dangerious part of Oklahoma City. Not for sale.

 

Whats the scoop on the front wheel drive GMC in the background ,,, She a Runner ?

Dam,,,,,
So i was sitting hear this morn checking out the thread's on the sight hear when the little Lady "On her way to work" walked behind me and said " By the way,,,, Since your back's felling better I would really like to get at my rubarb this year if you don't mind". Kind'a forgot I guess, Now I cant find the stuff.

Hell,,, Where did that 3 years go anyway hay ?

And she said she don't like Worms,,,, Hell,,, She's got cans of em.

 

I believe it's an Airstream not a GMC and yes as far as I know its a runner.

There's also a 58-60 Lincoln barely that's barely visible beyond the DeSoto in the photo.
Was it too dangerous to snap some photos of it?

 

There were a lot of British cars that had similarities with the american cars. Our cars seemed to be about 5 years or so behind you though.The second car down in the pics is a Humber Hawk and it has very similar styling to a 55 chevy . Pretty much all the major manufactures followed the American styling in some way or another.

If thats your "little lady" in your avatar, I would do just about whatever she said....

 

Here is the Lincoln. You guys have eagle eyes.

 

IMO, I think those were the coolest Lincolns ever made.

Silver metal contender for sure!

Sad looking '57. Those are some big holes in the fender!

 

I see this one when I stop for coffee in the morning
