    Can you identify the wagons in that pic?

    Starting from furthest away in the photo...
    1. Red, with white top, person standing next to it, in front of 'Christmas Tree' - Looks to me like a '56 Pontiac (almost identical to a '56 Chevy)
    2. Next row, closer to camera, and to the right, blue and white two-tone - '56 Chevy, most likely a model 210 'Townsman' 4-door.
    3. Closest row - Maroon and white 2-door wagon - This is another '56 Chevy 210 Townsman, just with 2 doors.
    4. Three spaces over from #3 - Bronze-ish color. This one's a '59 Chevy, a mid-line 'Parkwood' model (comparable to a '59 'Bel Air' trimmed sedan)


    By the way, this is the Portland, Oregon train station, still in use today. I got to see the 'back side' of it a few months ago, being on a train (wasn't my final destination, either way...) Not as architecturally interesting from the back.

    Wow, you are very knowledgeable! Thanks a lot! I like the maroon/white and bronze ones the most.

    From this distance, it appears to be Bi-Five Ford?

    That photo is Dulles Airport probably about the time it opened in '62. Probably a Chrysler promotional photo with the 62 Plymouth displayed next to one of the Chrysler Corp "Mobile Lounge" vehicles used at the airport. So I would say the long roof in the photo is a 1961 or 62 Chrysler Mobile Lounge. Here one appears in a 1968 Chrysler magazine ad.

    I'll stick with the motto of the S.E. Rykoff Foodservice Company:

    "Enjoy Life...eat out more often."

    LOL....
    Rykoff was one of our food vendors when I worked at Woody's Smorgasburger in the late 60's to early 70's. Had a contract with the whole chain. Got most of our canned goods from them.
