Two-Totaler: 1956
Fruitvale Avenue at 10th Street Street in Oakland circa 1956, and yet another vignette of vehicular violence. 4x5 inch acetate negative. View full size.
GM v. Ford

My late uncle had a car exactly like that Ford, sans damage. If I'm not mistaken, this accident occurred in front of a low-life drinking establishment known as the Corner Bar, where patrons frequently got totally smashed....
DEPENDability
"America's Most Beautiful Outboard Motors." With 1956 prices.
