    Something going on here. Most likely 1959, and certainly in Los Angeles. I think it's the San Bernardino Freeway (the '10') headed east out of downtown L.A. Looks like the press is following somebody. JFK, maybe?

    I seem to recall an excursion of Airstream trailerists like this going down to Mexico via rail car.........

    1961 was the last year for the big Ford 2-door wagon. You could get a 2-door Falcon wagon through 1965 though.

    - '66 Chevy Caprice Custom behind the '68 Montego MX. Does the Caprice look like it's yellow?
    - Very close to our '66 Caprice. I think we had a roof rack, though. This one doesn't appear to have one.

    That would be cool, except that the 'names' of the '56 Chevy wagons were 'Handyman', Townsman', 'Beauville', and 'Nomad'.

    I'm wondering what "Chicken in the Ruff" on the sign means at that Brookside restaurant? :cautious:
    Maybe King Pig knows?:D
