Back to the future

I'm always intrigued by how these old cars look like they're still from some distant, advanced future, especially compared to today's lackluster car designs.

Seafoam Green

tterrace is right on the money. The 1958 house that I grew up in had both a kitchen and a bathroom in similar aqua-turquoise hues.

Kirsti's Kar Kolor

Mr Mel may be correct in his speculation, but as an evocation of 1950s color design, this could be right out of a Douglas Sirk Technicolor soapfest.

Where is she from?

Has she or her parents been born in Finland? Just asking because Kirsti is very common name here in Finland especially among elderly women.

Great Aunt Kirsti rocks!

I covet her car and every single thing she's wearing. And the neighborhood.

US of A

We don't need no stinkin' electric cars!

Choice of Color

I imagine that someone bought this car because it was the model they wanted, but the only color the dealer had in stock.

Tell her to keep that car

1956 Ford Country Squire wagon. The smaller bit of wraparound chrome (actually the front parking light/turn signal assembly) above the bumper distinguishes this from the 55s. Not real wood, of course, but still cool, and along with Aunt Kirsti's garb makes this photo scream 1950s at the top of its lungs. Great shot, thanks!
