Scarborough in the sixties with a fine mix of British tin and the odd foreign interloper. I initially thought the car in front of the split-screen VW was a ‘57 Chevy but it’s not. Possibly a Cadillac, Dodge or Buick of the same era (covering lots of bases here 
). Anyone know?
A fine sunny day on the Yorkshire coast - about 50% are wearing overcoats and scarves! I scanned the pic to see if I appeared on my (less than) trusty James Captain motorbike but I must have had better things to do that day.). Anyone know?gdaybruce said:

Are you sure that’s not you sporting that nifty quiff and eyeing up the Mini Van?
I was but a callow youth! Actually, I think that photo was probably taken in the early 60s while I only reached 16 and became a biker in '68. It was of course the era of mods and rockers and whether you had a scooter or a bike mattered. I had a bike, but I compromised by making sure it was a properly crap one!P5BNij said:
Another US oldie, Interstate 10 east of Culver City, what's the 'duck out of water' small car on the left behind the truck....?
Funnily enough, I had a 63 Chev like the white one in the front of that photo when I was aged 18 to 23, and a mate had a 59 Pontiac like the one behind it, at the same time.Edit: It could be a 62 - 63 had a slight gap between the twin headlights. </trainspotter>

I reckon that's taken from the Crenshaw Blvd bridge over the I-10 looking east...and actually several miles east of Culver City and in fact on the eastern side of West Adams.gdaybruce said:
