April 12, 1958, Appleton Post-Crescent
I remember this car lot very well. To me, it's reminiscent of the used car lot in the movie American Graffiti. But aside from that, just look at those great old cars, sitting there under the lights. Who knew at the time that so many of these models would become beloved icons of that simpler time?
I see they put a '57 front and center, right under the sign!
ReplyDeleteMy first after-school job was here 10 years later detailing used cars. Ira Collar was my boss. The plum task was to drive a car over to Appleton to have new tires put on.
That right there is a dream job for any teenage boy. "Wally, can you drive stick? Ok, please take this blue GTO over for new tires, and don't lay any patches!"
