Awesome!!! I could spend days going through those pages! Amazing pics! Love the shots of GM's Aerotrain, the old dealership signs, old motorcycles... Something for everyone!

I remember that pic of the red '61 flower car being posted awhile ago... This image is much clearer. Looks to have started life as a '61 Eureka Flower Car, and received some interesting roof, backlite and body mods at some point in it's life.

Great stuff Kevin, Thanks for posting!

It took me a while to get down to the flower car. I almost rolled right past it because of the color. Bright red just didn't register that it was a pro car at first.

I did see lots and lots of wagons in there. Lots of wagons that I would love to have right now, but are probably long gone.

I love these old photos! The more you look, the more you see. I often look at old photos and start to imagine things like, where are those people now?

Dan,

I don't consider yours bright red. Yours is a nice deep red... almost burgandy. The red on the flower car is bright. The bright red might look good on a pro car if it were an ambulance.

Check out this one (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/dog427435/469.jpg)from that site.

And the answer to my question earlier about New York City ambulances here (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/dog427435/388.jpg).

Here's a neat New York airport Armbruster wagon (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t114/dog427435/398.jpg).

The retro pictures posted have been amazing. I found several pictures where the people looked just like my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Then there is the one of a 69 Mustang that was exactly like the one I had. This has been the coolest experience I can remember in a long time scrolling through these pictures. I have been saving quite a few and will print and create a photo album to display at car shows with my Lifeliner. People will love it.

Paul Steinberg

Cary's picture (black car) is a 1959. The one Adam posted is a 1960. Those were the "Forward Look" era cars, starting in 1959, and ending with the 1962 model year. The 1963 & 1964 Chrysler's are the orphan cars. In 1965, the introduced completely new models.

all I knew was that it was not a 63. guessing on the 50 and 60 thanks I can get them labeled right.

Martyn Donaldson

Actually, the black one is a '60 and the 2-tone one is based on a '61 New Yorker.:)
