Needless Trivia : Let me take a guess .... Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The number 1 on the license plate denotes Minnehaha County where Sioux Falls is located and is the largest city therefore the number 1 on the plate. The reddish rock building is the old court house located on the northern end of Main Avenue. The bottom floor is where one went for their drivers license.
How many recognize this car as a Ford ? Canadian Ford that is, a Richleau. Back when Canadian FoMoCo dealers had a shot at each others products. Mercury dealers sold a rebadged Ford (Meteor) and Mercury M100 truck. Ford dealers sold a rebadged Mercury (Monarch). Not a lot of either left today so very collectible. Some good looking vehicles too. Trim pieces for restoration dang hard to find. Don't get me started on Canadian Pontiacss n parts. 1 more car I promise, Rex Winter Dry n windy Lubbock TX
Ice fishing brings back memories. Used to go with my cousin and uncle on Muskamoot Bay on Lake St Clair. We would break through the top layer of ice once in a while. Always lucky enough to have thick ice below. Never broke all the way through. BTW my uncle had a Plymouth like the one in your post.
Think that photo was taken around the time McQueen was in the "Reevers" The car was built by Von Dutch for the movie. Bob
