That is me with my first car Bleach in the top image from your post. It was a hand me down from my older Brothers. I guess at 70, I now qualify as Antiquated. Our Mom who passed 17 months after I was born, handmade that big*****on coat that we all wore. My Sister still has that coat which has been worn by some of the kids and Grandkids in our Families.
c. 1951 - NW 26th Ave. & Upshur St. - Portland Oregon - Original a hotel built for visitors of the 1905 Lewis and Clark Exposition.
My friend and his dad drove one from LA (Anaheim) to Vegas in the summer . They were not looking forward to the return trip. For some reason the one they had actually seemed smaller than the one in the photo. I'm sure I'm mistaken.
