Wagons in vintage Street scenes

I wonder if the Metropolitan squad car was as amusing then as it is now.

 

i do love these, thanks.

 

Dad: Well kids, did you enjoy the day at Disneyland?
Kids: YEAH!!!!!!!
Mom: What about you honey, did you have a good time?
Dad: You know, I really did. This couldn't have been a better day. I am tired though. I can't wait to get home, so let's get back to the car and WHAT THE &%$#!

 

Nice Mopar wag next to it though.

 

That is very hard to look at. Notice there's not a spec of rust on any of those. Think of the current value of just the trim & bumpers on those '57 Bel Airs... Ahhhhhhh!

 

I've got a theory on this one.....
This is the east side of the Disneyland property. The north/south street you see just beyond the parking area is Harbor Blvd. The parking area that the vehicle is in appears to be the 'drop off' parking area - only short-term parking allowed - 10-20 mins, and it has easy in/out access from Harbor Bl. The southbound Santa Ana Fwy off-ramp for Disneyland / Harbor Bl. would have been just up the street a couple of blocks or so.....

Notice the location of the fire - left side of interior, with a lot of it in the back seat. This was a smoker's fire - ash from lit cigarette goes into back seat and starts the upholstery on fire..... The fire probably started smoldering on the freeway,and this parking lot was the first place the driver could stop.
