1952-59 Ford Fords from the past.

I noticed that too. Deluxe Rear Deck Antenna, Aquamatic Washer, Adjust-O-Ring Mirror and then... Rear Seat Speaker (yaaawn). Who screwed that up?

 

I do not recall seeing a 58 with chrome headlight trim.after 57 the 58 was not as popular up here or the recession contributed to poor sales

 

Our troops were coming home from Korea and were finding their American Dream.

 

Time frame would be Korea, but I think the majority of scenes like this were actually about wwII vets who made it home, got jobs and a wife/family, worked hard for a few years to save up for that downpayment on the American dream. Being born in '46, I was in the first wave of baby boomers, born in Waltham, Mass.. Mom and dad bought their first house in '56 out in the country in Acton. My parents were married prior to Dad headin' off to the war, I have an older sister by 3 years

 

Our stories are very similar Rich. Born in 45, folks bought their first new home in 55 in Tulsa, they married in 1940, I have a sister 3 years older also.

 

I can't tell what is in the trunk, but it sure is heavy.

 

Never mind the trunk - look in the back seat

 

Wow, I missed that!

Friends help you move... really good friends help you move the bodies....

 

This is my dad back in 1954, new house in 1952, kids on the way starting in 1953. He had a 2-door Mainline with the straight-6 and the 3-on-the-tree. It was a nice little car.

 

That could be my car, who knows?!

Fords heading off to Sweden.

 

Had some great memories of Cruising here back in Champaign,Illinois in the 60's sadly the quality of the food is not like it was and the car hops are history.

Still busy serving ice cream ?

 

Now I know where that watch tower is them folks that knock on my door are telling me about. LOL!

 

The Dairy Delight seems to be doing a booming business.
Watch tower folks?........are the conspirists (sp) going door to door in Phoenix now?

 

I'd be guessing that tower is in Australia, NSW even. The people in the photo are looking for the nearest town to go doorknocking
