Cool picture Stan. I love looking at old pictures. Reminds us how different the world is now. Here is a link to a thread on Station Wagon forums that has grown to over 1000 pages. It focuses on wagons but lots of cool old pictures of "Americana"

I remember riding all the way in the back of dads 57 Plymouth wagon on family outings ..... Spotting billboards and new car dealerships was a high point of the trip.

Sinatra & Jobim. My folks used to play this stuff all the time while I was growing up. Brazilian Bossa Nova style.

Love listening to that. I'm a fan of Harry Belafonte too. Can't forget Ricky Recardo either..... Love those two tone jackets.

Model year 1957 was already in production (57 Chevrolet spotted). So at least late 1956.

Yep. I missed the 57 Chevy. I see it now. Good eye. It's way back there in the pack.
Oops, I just saw an angry eyebrow '57 Dodge (?).
