Wagons in vintage Street scenes

This is Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, CA. Judging by the vehicles, looks to be around 1953/54 maybe...... I remember taking drives up the coast here with my family only a few years after this, maybe around 1958 or so......

 

OK, I kknow I am late to the party on this one, but DAMN! Three of my all time favorites rolled in to one here. Awesome, real cars from back in the day, a Drive In movie theater, and a Steam Train (a 4-6-6-4 articulated Norfolk and Western A-Class no less) hauling freight! I love it!

 

Gee.... how can you forget to mention "Jet Pilot" with John Wayne currently on the screen?

 

My caption for this picture is"

We don't take kindly to minivans around these parts. You are in wagon country son! Now get that fancy self propelled dumpster out of our town. That will replace our wagons over our dead bodies!"

 

"Well would you look at that. A train in the street."

"I ain't never seen nothin' like it"

"Golly day! What is that train doing here?"

"Yo man, that train is jackin' with my vibe!"

"Look daddy! A whale egg!"

"No Ralphie, that is called a train."

"Custom Carburetors. Next stop, Aunt Suzie's yard."
