Wow, these are some great pictures. As a local history buff and wagon owner, these capture the essence of a couple of my favorite things. Thanks Scramboleer. Cool stuff.

Wow and a '55 Chevy station wagon in the background.
Many, many hours of my childhood riding in Dad's '55 sedan.

And that Cadillac - '55 ? '56 ? What?
Somebody knows.

Love these old pics. Keep 'em coming.
