Just kidding! Pops had a heavy duty hitch to pull his 22 ft Chris Craft. Same exact car.

 

Look at all the oil spots on the street in any of these old photos! I remember that was pretty normal until well into the 70's!!!

 

Our next door neighbors had one of these when I was a kid.
56 pontiac.

 

Googie architecture at it's best! The roof of the building, the angle of the sign.I loved this "futuristic" style when i appeared and still do! The SPACE AGE!

 

Back when you were proud to own a cadillac! It really meant something then.

 

Looks more like a cobblestone street, to me.
