Happy SUNday! – on the road in Japan (late 1970s).

A photo essay of scenes around Yokohama, Japan.

Service station across the street from base housing.
One of the few signs in English.
Stuck in traffic. Toyota Lite Ace. “Fukushima Electric Works Co., Ltd. Building Materials Department.” The little green sticker in the upper right corner says, “Let’s Drive Slowly in Kanagawa.”
Avenue ‘D’ along the base housing area.
Delivery vehicles at the ready.
Some of the best taxis anywhere.
Traffic, again. “Wisteria Express.”
Tokyo, I think.

It doesn’t seem that long ago, but the late 1970s were long ago!

Happy SUNday! – Classic Cars

Chris and Carol 4 Comments

A couple of classic cars taken in June 1958 somewhere in Connecticut (maybe Hartford).

My wife’s Uncle Bill’s car – a Ford? Reader Jim Grey says it’s a Dodge and I agree. Maybe a 1958 Royal Lancer? The paint scheme is pretty gaudy – a “saddle” two-tone, which had the roof and all of the body below the belt-line trim as one color and the body above the belt-line trim as another.
My father-in-law’s Frank’s car – a Chevy Impala.

They built them big and heavy back then and to think they were considered coupes (two doors). Dual antennas too! Have a great day!

Buy Me A Coffee

1979 sure looks old (and ugly)!

An advertisement from The Saturday Evening Post, January-February 1979. Even back then this was an ugly car and time hasn’t helped.
