Great Looking Car

What a great looking car. I would be willing to bet that it's red. It just looks like a car that needs to be red. Also...do we see the photographer in the front hubcap?

I was there yesterday

but the site is now a shopping mall. I bought a book at the Barnes & Noble.

Wicked car

Rounded "Speedway" front end, teardrop headlights, suicide doors -- I would so drive that bad boy today. That car has major style.

Snappy

It's a pre-WW2 word just made to describe things as great-looking as this Pontiac, even with its muddy tires.

Just Noticed

This shot was taken on my mother's 17th birthday.

Tanforan's other use

Wow, there's some history at that track, as a Japanese Internment Camp. Check out the internet.

Right side up

I wonder if someone with a careful eye pried the hubcaps off, then popped them back on? The Pontiac script is turned the proper way on both.

DLR 5

Dealer license plate, I assume.
