Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Johnson City, Tennessee

 

Pittsburg

 

Walla Walla

 

I can't speak for the Liberty Tunnels but across the Hulton Bridge (Oakmont) at the Freeport Rd intersection, there used to be a booth for a man to control the traffic lights. You can still see it in Google Maps if you go back to 2012 or earlier.

I lived in Oakmont as a kid in the 90s.

That's it. I drove the 84 Caprice Sedan through there when I went to Fort Pitt area in 2015 - 2016.

 

Going back through some of the older posts (this was on 1650,) I looked up the movie ("Come Back, Little Sheba") at the theater. This pic was likely early 1953.

Apparently, they didn't have much space available at the Walla Walla, Washington car show for 1960. I was used to going to Los Angeles car show at the Pan-Pacific Auditorium, where one make would have about this much room shown here. It's been over 10 years now since I've been to a BIG 'new model' car show...... kinda miss it.

 

Well Krash, Walla Walla Washington is a little smaller than Los Angeles. You could probably fit it's entire downtown area into the Las Vegas convention center.

 

Yeah, I didn't really want to knock 'small town America', but it may have come off that way...... Heck, I'm IN small town America now myself.
Sometimes I DO miss So Cal though.....like around car show season.

 

1978 New York Auto Show. You're welcome.

 

I'll take one of each in the FORD display. Too bad there isn't a crew cab in the lot.
I'm curious what the little burgundy rig is on the turntable. Some utility concept no doubt.

 

Looks like something to keep the kids busy, judging by its size

 

The little red car is the concept Prima, and my understanding is that its front-drive layout was the basis for the front-drive setup in the U.S. Escort. Imagine if the Escort was built that way, with three changeable rear decklids, rather than buying just a hatchback, a sedan or a wagon.
