Dressed Up: 1954
At one time it was considered proper to dress up before going to visit someone. My grandparents came to our house in Jefferson Park (NW Chicago) in 1954 where this 35mm Kodachrome was taken. I don't know what kind of car that is.
I wonder what my grandparents would have thought about how sloppy people dress, in public, today....I think I know. View full size.
1954 or 1955
It could still be 1954. Because just like today, the new cars were introduced at the end of the year around October or November.
1955?
If that is a 1955 Chevy, then I stand corrected. This photo would have been taken in Clinton, Iowa.
Grandpa's new car?
That's a 1955 Chevrolet. Grandpa got a new car?
