How far we have come!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and a good reminder that the ferry system and Highway #12 we have today to use are truly a huge convenience, even when weather interupts the ferry schedules or overwash closes Highway #12.
Don't you love vintage photos and postcards!
That's my daddy's car! Well not his actual car, but it sure looks like it .Early 40s I'd say, since he died in 1945. It's great seeing old shots like this!
ReplyDeleteSo great. Love the old photos
ReplyDeleteClearly, that appears to be a 1934 Ford 5 window with rumble seat-- the Desoto from that era did not feature a spare tire centered as the tag was centered.
