History Abilene Tx in 1948

Here's a pic of my daughter in laws grandfather in 1948. He was 16 and this was his first car. He lived in Abilene Texas. He wasn't ever really a car guy. I just thought this pic was so cool. Sadly, he p***ed away last year.

 

Very cool pic, thanks for sharing it.

 

Nice pic....truly captures a different era.

 

Looks like a car guy then...16? yeah.

 

Yep, Cool

 

Well, he was a hot rodder. That is a cool picture and he had a cool car.
In those days that was a 100.00 dollar car.

 

Lets enlarge the photo. HRP

 

Cool picture. I'm guessing the car scene here in Abilene wasn't any better back in 1948. Has anyone seen the Quantum Leap episode in Abilene that has the Shoebox with flames?
