That was priceless laughed my butt off, shame that most of the crowd had no clue as what that was ( mainly young )

Propayne & Bill thanks for those great photos from Carlisle !

Here's I think a '73 Country Squire at Crane Lake, Minnesota.

Family with a '60 ? Country Sedan, the mother and daughter look pretty pale ! The father almost looks like Carroll Shelby.

Definitely a '60. Wonder what year the photo was taken? Judging by hairstyles, early to mid '60s?   

Also, the car's bumper is still shiny but the paint is oxidized...so I'd guess 1963-64.  It has a drill-on dealer nameplate, so they're probably east of New Mexico...and thus added to my factoring of the date.

And yes, judging by the complexions, the mother and daughter must have lived (been held captive?) in their bomb shelter 23/7.

Since we are nearing the end of summer, a few images of people on holiday having lunch out of the back of their Ford wagons, and

some kids saying " we just wanna go to the beach"  ;)

Not sure if I have the years right, top to bottom, '64...'57...'53 and a '56 ?

Photo #2  looks like Aunt Bee on a solo picnic at Lake Mayberry.

Her '57 has seen better days.  Is that plywood in the place of a LR window?

6S1568....JD and side-Oilers thanks for the comments, we all need a smile these days ! Memories of our younger days,  :) I'm in

my seventh decade now so can relate to many of these images   ;)

Side-Oilers great comment on Aunt Bee at Lake Mayberry, that was a great show !

And thanks to the others who have also contributed photos to this thread !

I guess it might be politically incorrect to note that it looks like "Aunt Bee" could afford to skip a meal here or there  :o ::) ???

Great pix though - this is definitely fun  8)
