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. |

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 11:15 am) Your lineup of the first row sounds right to me, but after the 1962 Plymouth is a 1957 Plymouth followed by a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air (it has 4 lights, Impalas had 6) followed by a 1962 Oldsmobile sedan (I can't really see it). On the left side, the black one behind the 1958 Bel Air is a 1962 Ford Fairlane. I'll stop there... |

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 1:19 pm) So I guess its the 147.... errr... 149. But that ain't the pics I've seen. Looks like maybe someone photoshopped 2 doors onto a MiTo??
