Parkling Lot, January 6 1957
It is an odd thing; in posting a few pictures of a parking lot, I will be making some people happy. Who knew?
Yes, today's post features two parking lot images; technically I guess that they are really pictures of Main Street Station, but it's the cars that get my attention. Look, there's a Ford Frijole, a Pontiac Gnome, and is that a Chevy Molar over there? Of course my favorite is the Nash Mosquito, or maybe the Buick Seizure-88. Boy, do I know my vintage cars!
Oh man, check out those two-tone beauties, like the Mercury Mongoose, the Studebaker Knobster. And that might be the front end of a Oldsmobile Chiclet. They don't make 'em like that anymore, folks! I'll just silently tip-toe away while you feast your eyes on those babies, and dream of a time when cars were works of art.

I'm one of the many people that enjoy seeing the parking lot! It's much more appealing than the "carnival" that took it's place.
I loves me some vintage parking lot! Great car names, when I was a kid we used to play funny car names; my personal favorite was - The "Chrysler Collision". Although your "Pontiac" Gnome" is funny as heck!
TM is right, these do add a "carnival" look to the park. Thanks for the Parking Lot Treat Major!
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Oh thank you so much; you made my day.
AWESOME !!! AWESOME !!! AWESOME !!!
And in the first picture, WALT'S favorite two-tone car, the combine!
You took the words right out of my mouth (oh how unsanitary) cars indeed WERE a work of art!
fantastic!

You know, Major, if they had names like that I'd be buying new more often!
Funny stuff - but I think you missed the 'Honda Gimmick' back there.
Cars schmars...look at that beautiful Anaheim sky!
oh, yeah....what's not to love!?
Gosh I like older cars like these better. This was my country and I miss it... and I'm still in it. :\
Strange and unusual thing to notice, but I myself am strange and unusual: the bare side of the Main St Bank building looks totally real, like there'd be some folks in c1900 clothes behind those upstairs winders, calculating accounts by head and pen.
Oh, Major, ROFLMAO!
Thank you from a devoted fan...!!!
