    Hello,
    Does this photo count? A '65 in front of a '55 in '67 ? On one of our frequent "up the Northern Cal coastline" trips in 67.
    Thanks,

  5. When you are posting the picture look for the box to click for "Full Size". If someone wants to see the full size all they have to do is click once on the picture (that is with a MAC, I assume a PC is the same). I like your picture.

    Here we are along with "Skirtless33" in front of Reg's Auto Service (no, we didn't need any work done) in Arenzville, Illinois. Since it was a nice August 80 degree day we took a 120 mile road trip for lunch over by the Illinois River and stopped here for a photo op on the way back.

    This station is in downtown Gladstone Oregon. I've seen it as a backdrop for Magazine feature cars. The guy sells motorcycle accessories, not gas or oil. Sorry, no car in the pic. 100_1409.JPG

    Hello,
    Thanks, I needed that ! Sorry about the flipped photo. But, I wanted to see that Greeves decal in the back window for another article on motocycles. It is the best old photo that I have of my 65.

    My merc at Griffith Park in 1956. You could barely see the observatory in the upper left hand corner of the pic.

  25. Took this pic last week at a roll in on Belgrade Ave, North Mankato, MN. A friend commented that it looks as though it could have been a Norman Rockwell scene, he might be right!

    You have captured what rodders referred to as "the Lobeck look". Ryan and Keith are probably a bit jealous. It is just right.
