Very cool cars. I know some people here who would pay a good price for them.

A lot of interesting things in the Yoakum neighbourhood! I like the horn on the Ford?

@Peter: I like that too. Looks neat in one of my other shots of the truck.

Something very unrefined about that era . . but it still has a lure.

Those old automobiles had so much character and charm, are these ones forgotten...? Very good shot !

@observing: I think they're in use, actually --didn't look real close but had the impression their license plates and inspection stickers were up to date.

Oh my, what a find. I hope that someone is going to save these, I hate seeing old things go to waste. I don't think you'd have such a find here, the rain would have rusted them to nothing a long time ago. I agree with the poster comment above too, nice work.

@Craig@Random Ramblings: I think they were in use, actually. Both seemed to have current license plates and inspection stickers.

Standing at a corner in Santiago De Cuba, I watched 50's models go by one after another, not nostalgia but a strange reality.

Wow, what a find. Even the old garage fits the date. Wonderful in greyscale.

@sherri: I went with the b&w but liked the color too. Was trying for something that looked like it could have been taken in the 50's, but was obviously not.

I have seen couple of those classic GM trucks in mint condition, they can be real pricey. I wonder if one got to buy one of these how much would it cost to restore it to its original state?
