Took me back to the 50's and my childhood in NJ. How well I remember the milkman cometh, and the drive-ins and the cars that my folks and grandparents drove. Thanks Doc, I'm sharing this link with my family/friends

I've spent a few days tooling around the little red-brick towns of NY state, and the houses/shops/streets are mind-boggling.
Thanks for the great link.

His photography is fantastic. I believe the model cars come from the Danbury Mint.

I did a search at the Danbury Mint looking for one of these (LaSalle). When I was a kid, I had an uncle in Brooklyn who had one and it was the first car I ever took an interest in. Some automobile!djlansing wrote:His photography is fantastic. I believe the model cars come from the Danbury Mint.
