1952-59 Ford When our Fords were young.

One more.

 

In 1955-on our Family could been parked right there. We lived about 4 miles to the left off Centinela Ave which is right behind the Hamburger Handout. There was an appliance store on the corner at Sepulveda…..since all the photos above have Fords we could have easily blended in with dads 55 Sunliner and moms 56 Victoria.

 

The black 58 reminds me of my first car. I had it till I got a 67 Cougar in 68. However one of my current projects is a 58 that I will be painting black.

 

Records Set !

Found some! Figured I'd post them here rather than add distraction to the CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL CRUISER thread.

Man, those German MP cops look as serious as a heart attack!

 

@Dos Cincos Do you know if that was the original location for the Old Hickory House in Tucker? Or unrelated?

 

I'm fairly certain that was the original location
