Wagons in vintage Street scenes

On July 31, 1954, freelance photographer Rosemary Gilliat and her girlfriends, Anna Brown, Audrey James and Helen Salkeld, packed up Helen's Plymouth station wagon and began their 12,391-kilometre road trip across Canada.

During the next 38 days, they crossed five provinces and four states, travelling through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Washington, Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, and returning to Ottawa on September 6.

 

Great pictures. Thanks

 

More great stuff. Thanks

 

So many great pictures, but I've got some comments / questions on the last few.....

- Kids leaning on the '65 Bonneville 2-door hardtop: "GET OFF MY CAR!"
- Ladies travelling in the Plymouth wagon: Why did you take so many pics in black & white?
- Metro Police standing in the middle of a divided turnpike: GET OFF THE ROAD!"
- And this one: Who would buy a Volvo Amazon 122 wagon.......in 1966? (Two thumbs up!)
