Pie Town Fair: 1940
September 1940. "At the fair, Pie Town, New Mexico." An old coupe with rumble seat. What kind of car is this? Kodachrome by Russell Lee. View full size.
Yes Pie town is there
I work in Tucson and one of our MIS staff did a lot of motor homing and Pie Town is one of her favorite places to visit. She (and her husband) retired last year and made Pie Town their retirement home. And yes I placed an order (Pie Town delivers) for her favorite -- Apple-Jalapeno.
Love all the history of Pie Town.
Thanks
Pie Town
It really is a town, founded about 1922, extensively documented in 1940 by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration.
Pie Town still exists, still has pies for sale. It's about 40 miles west of Socorro on New Mexico Route 60.
Pie Town Roadster
The left taillight is definitely a Chevrolet lamp, probably a 1930 roadster. Same goes for the wire wheels.
Pie Town is real!
It still has its festival, and looks as if it hasn't changed a whole lot. I so want to visit.
Car
The car could possibly be a Ford Model A Roadster, anywhere from 1927 to 1931.
