    In the early 60's dad had a '59 Olds. It's my 2nd favorite looking car of the era, outdone only by the '57/'58 Chrysler 300's. It's always good to see one hidden in the background of an old black and white photo.

    Below is the only picture I have of (part of) the car, from a family fishing trip sometime around 1964. The car wasn't the star of the photo. By the way, that was an Osseo 12 foot wooden boat, with a 10 HP Johnson on it. My dad and four kids in it made for a lot of tangled lines.

    Any chance of reading the club plaques on this original picture?

    I can just make out "ACCELERATORS HILLTOP" on this one:

    @Beanscoot Blowing up the picture 259% it looks like the '34 Chevy says Vagabonds The '34 Ford in the middle says Nomads, and I can't make out the one on the right.
    EDIT: the one in the middle and on the right appear to be the same.
