The Gondoliers: 1958
Meanwhile, back in circa-1958 Oakland: "Accident, 26th at Valdez." A sailor suddenly very much in his element exiting a Chevrolet with a flooded engine. 4x5 acetate negative from the Shorpy News Photo Archive. View full size.
Car Wash
Now days, you have to pay extra to have your car's undercarriage washed...
Underwash
I'm sure there are easier ways to get the bottom of your car cleaned!
In Uniform
At least his 'Dixie Cup' remains in place.
That will no doubt impress the Shore Patrol.
Still There
The brick building remains at the SW corner of 26th and Valdez. The intersection has been realigned since, again with the urban renewal and traffic flow upgrades.
Hydrophilic Chevrolet
There seems to be an affinity between 1949-'52 Chevrolets and fire hydrants!
Must be an Oakland thing, as my '50 two-door lived its whole life in Los Angeles and never so much as grazed one.
