It's the wrong season for this one but check out this old video from Buffalo Ny. with lots of old cars in the late 50's
Most of those old cars were not very old back then! Looks like that was taken the morning after a pretty big snow dump, which is pretty common in Buffalo New York. We skated by without too many big snows this year, but I got a pic of my old truck out on my driveway after a small snow this winter. My driveway was snow blown, but the street was still covered. I do drive the truck in the winter.
I suspect the original concept was to show the big piles of snow from the snow storm the night before. Most images showed what must have been 1 1/2' to 2' of snow on most of the car roofs, sidewalks, house roofs, and the snow that clung to the trees and shrubs.
