About the Photos

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Car lust

My kingdom for a car with fins!

 

Parking a '60 Caddy

An example of the consequences of parallel parking a 1960 Cadillac can be seen right here on Shorpy.

 

While riding in my Cadillac

What an aircraft carrier! How would you like to try to parallel park it? (Now the song "Beep Beep" is running through my head.)

 

Low Country Style

That Van deKamp's has a big windmill on top.

 

Cadillac Style

1960 Eldorado Biarritz. Makes even Nixon look sexy!

 

Fabuluxe

There's never been a car that better defined its time and place than that Caddy.

 

Those folks in the Caddy

I thought there was something familiar-looking about those two in the back seat, and I was right: Pat & Dick Nixon. Should we read some subliminal political commentary in the fact that they're being driven backward over a left turn lane?
