Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Jesus, that car doing a "handstand" in #17969. Must have been one heck of a panic stop with the front brakes tighter than the rears. Or wait, it that a three wheeled car with only one wheel in the rear?

 

No, but I wouldn't doubt that it could handstand because of how the weight's distributed, or if something caused the rear to jounce and rebound, as if there are no rear shocks.

 

Hmm. What model of car is it, do you know? I'm not familiar with that one.

Does this photo count? It's supposed to be in Reynoldsville, PA. The last time I drove through there the building was still there.



Here's a more recent photo:



I've never been to Philadelphia but this is supposed to be from there, showing a Mayfair Dining place:



I found the next two photos on Pinterest in a "Rankin/Braddock" page so I'm imagining they're around Braddock, PA which is close to Pittsburgh.





Johnson City, Tennessee, 1958 (there's at least one Wagon in this photo)

 

Ha ha, yeah, 300+ cars, there's bound to be a wagon somewhere in it. The car in question was a French Citroen DS.

And that building you featured, from Reynoldsville, PA, is like the one we have on old U.S. 99 (now WA SR 99), Keeler's Corner.





Sorry, no wagon pics I could find. This is what it was called waaaayyy back when:

 

Checker wagon....


























I like green cars....... but no frigen way!

 

"No friggin' way?" Why not! I know it's not a wallet-buster, but admit it-if you found one of these in good condition, you'd have pics plastered all over this site.

 

I guess you are correct...... forgot what magic a can of black paint could do, this I could live with!



Liking this one even more now, must be the white rims on the green one.......
