Some more nice pics! I really like them old cars. thanks for sharing

Man those pictures makes my mouth water....LOL!

Bob, I thought we had a new member when I looked at your avatar, then I looked at the name beside it.....LOL!

NTFDAY, Pretty good!! But can you nail it down a little better? Heres another photo of the same city a few years later, also no checking licsense plates for hints. I left the caption on the bottom just to give you a heads up.

Next photo is a little tricky the one of the Chevy police car. Anyone willing to take this location on? Actaully there are enough clues in the background to get pretty close.

Customs ain't they cool.

I don't think the pictures are of Dayton because of the lack of overhead trolley wires. At the time, late50's/60's, Dayton had a large public transportation system that employed both diesel buses and electric trolley cars. Also in that period it was pretty easy to tell where a car in Ohio had been registered by the license plates. In the southern part of the state,say Cincinnati for instance, the plate numbers could have been like 50 AA, while in the northern part of the state, say Cleveland for instance, the plate numbers could have been like AA 50. My grandfather, who lived in or around Lebanon, Ohio for years, had LN 69 as his plate number for decades.
Therefore I think the city in question is somewhere around the lake possibly Cleveland or maybe Akron.

Pretty good deduction skills there Bud. But in the early picture taken I think in 1957 arn't those trolly car wires up there? But what do I know I was born and raised in East Texas, and thought most of my youth Ohio was in the middle. It is one or the other of those you mention ------ But which one??

True about the trolley wires, just not enough of them. I'll stick with Cleveland.
The picture with the cop car I'm guessing is Windsor.

NTFDAY, Just what does that stand for NTFDAY??? HUUUUM!!

Well man you were doing good, Akron one in 1957 and the other 1962. As to the other sorry Man wrong CONTINENT. As I said clues are there.

Roland

Heres three cool ones that give the meaning to Dog House, never would have guessed the assembled them this way.

Not Fade AwaY It's an old Buddy Holly tune.

All these are from Springfield, TN. I got them when I did some prints for the Museum Archives. I threw in Military ones cause 1: I'm a huge supporter of our Military. 2: This Man was my friends Dad I've known most of my life. And 3: Figured we had some old Military guys on here that might remember these days, plus those tanks are serious vehicles. LOL
