Expert Posts: 3070 Location: Scotland | d500neil - 2008-02-27 7:27 PM The "Olympia Diner" postcard has been recently re-popped; I've got a couple of them in my collection. And, there is ANOTHER 1961 all-tan Windsor 4-dr sedan, shown at/on the Caribou Hotel postcard, at Loring Air Force Base, in Maine. AND: doesn't that '57 Adventurer look a tad out-of-scale, compared to the nearby early-50's Chrysler, and that '57 Chebbie convertible? I can only see one '61 Windsor at the Caribou Hotel and a '57 Belvedere,can you spot the FL trade-in at Ralph Pool Cadillac.

The gentleman that uploaded the photos, Hans Melin, sure did enjoy taking photos of everyone he knew next to their car. There just a few forwardlooks, but these are all worth seeing because of the old cars and scenes in the background. So cool! http://www.cardatabase.net/search/search.php?photo_view=&where=IDEg...

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13062 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | The Sunbeam (whoever came up with that name?) has the towbar attached just as it should have. We had those in Sweden - I don't think they got any better by the cruise over to the states. Note that it has SVE for licence plate, which in turn ar short for Sverige (Sweden) | ||

We had those in Sweden - I don't think they got any better by the cruise over to the states. Note that it has SVE for licence plate, which in turn ar short for Sverige (Sweden) HATE to disappoint you, but that's a California Black Plate and the letters and numbers combination is probably just a random grouping. I think this car was used at a San Jose Cadillac dealership to pick up and deliver cars. We had a 1967 Type III hatchback for just this purpose at the VW garage I used to work for too. Maybe they sold Sunbeams for awhile too? After all, there were dealerships that actually sold Yugos too back in the 1980s. JUNKY as hell.

Note that it has SVE for licence plate, which in turn ar short for Sverige (Sweden) I'm sure the guy Hans Melin that took all these photos in Cali during the '60s was Swedish because some of the shots were taken in Sweden/Norway too,like these ones.Sunbeams were part of Chrysler Corp by the late '60s.

Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | Same location. Look at the changes over the course of a decade. The '57 Plymouth in the postcard view is the newest car I see. Now look at the black and white photo. The Pontiac and the Chevelle are circa 1966. I point out the model years of the automobiles to set a time reference. Look at the buildings, streetlights, condition of the trolley feeder cables, etc. Also note that in both photos, people dressed more formally than today. Even casual wear had buttons and collar. I wonder if that is the same police officer in both pix? K.
