Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 18, 2008 9:42 am) The article I took it from calls it a "L'il Red Express" but "L'il Red Wagon" is the name I recall too. Hubcap Cafe splits the difference and call s it both.

Replying to: stephen987 (Oct 18, 2008 2:50 pm) Wasn't there also a model called the Warlock, which came out before the Lil Red Express?

This is from an old postcard, if you look closely you can easily find a dozen identifiable cars, enough to approximate the year the picture was taken. Extra credit if you know where it was taken:

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 11:15 am) Black and white car on other side of street is a 1957 Pontiac sedan First Row: 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air or Biscayne, 1959 Plymouth, 1958 Oldsmobile, 1963 Ford Country Sedan, 1961 Plymouth. 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air or Biscayne. Black car next to 1958 Chevy - possibly a 1962 Buick Wildcat Back Row: 1959 Ford Galaxie, 1961-64 Chevrolet Corvair, 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible, 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air or Biscayne, 1961 Ford Falcon, 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air or Biscayne. Can't see rest of row. Not sure of blue and white car in second row, but it looks like it could be a low-end 1957 Dodge. Can't see the rest. I'll take a wild guess as to where the picture was taken, but I think it's Wildwood, NJ a long time ago before the place became "America's Most Wanted" on the Boardwalk. I went there in 2004 with my girlfriend after hearing what a great place it was in 1976. Now, all I see is a bunch of thuggish characters on the beach.

Replying to: lemko (Oct 19, 2008 12:49 pm) 4 tail lights) so it was almost certainly taken in 1962. Notwithstanding the lack of palm trees I thought the location was Florida but it is indeed Wildwood Crest, New Jersey (Conca Dor Motel). I'm surprised there's not a single imported car in the shot, by 1962 Volkswagens and Triumphs etc were becoming common sights on the East Coast. |
