Great shots 29bowtie. Some real quality additions to the best thread on the internet.

 

Amazing photos.

Do you have any higher-res images of the three Western Auto stores? I wanted to take a closer look at the inventory they had in those days. I remember W/A as the place I enjoyed spending time when I was a kid.

Not possible. Your attachment is of a '57 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60 Special.

 

This was my aunts (by marriage) dad's place. If Memory serves me correctly, it became a Ford dealership later on.

This looks like the old Piston and Ring shop in downtown Seattle. I could be mistaken tho.

What is with the steering wheel? Looks like a bow tie on the left and a single bar on the right????

 

Earliest known photo of Gregg Allman.

 

I noticed how the gauges were mounted too.
Instead of hanging down as they normally would; they stood them up.
I'm no drag racer so I hadn;t noticed that before.Smart.

 

I think the "bar" on the right is actually a hand brake and is not really attached to the steering wheel.
