Pictures from the Fifties...

Cars used to be pretty unique from brand to brand in those days...I remember everything here except Mickey D's.  First one I ever saw was in the 70's down in Brisbane, Australia

If we had realized how good the '50's were, we would have never left

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Nice stuff, thanks Steve. I remember the Mcdonalds between York and Gettysburg on Rt30 looked just like, 15 cent sign and all. Thomas especially liked all the Mopar stuff. I'm a big fan of the 58 Chev, the 60's Chev with the rear wings, and all the Buick stuff
