GM on the Beach: 1964
Another look at the fading Atlantic City from my grandfather's family trip in 1964. View full size.
Buicks
White one on the left is a 1962 LeSabre or Invicta, and the one the right looks like a 1960 Electra 225.
WFPG
The then CBS Radio Station's call letters WFPG were the acronym for Atlantic City's then self-appointed nick name of the "World's Famous Playground." Back when the old Convention Center opened on the Boardwalk, the station broadcast from there.
Summer of 1964
I remember visiting this exhibit at the Steel Pier while in Atlantic City with my parents. They were in Atlantic City for the 1964 Democratic convention, which was held in the Convention Center on the boardwalk in August 1964. Thanks
My Parents Had This Album
I never remember hearing it, though. After Nov 22, 1963, we were forbidden to play it. I was only 5 1/2 then so, if I heard the album I don't remember it.
Compare this picture
to some of the turn of the century photos of Atlantic City. One person on the beach? At least Al Martino still had a gig there.
Something I've wondered
Now I have an idea of what Vaughan Meader did after 1963.
Vaughn Meader
Haven't heard that name in years. As I recall he did a comedy album spoofing the Kennedy family and did a spot on impersonation of JFK. Hilarious at the time.
