MOM!! I remember the fun we had flying around in the back of that wagon, especially on those windy roads going up to Lake Arrowhead. How’d you get this picture??

If you look at that car closely, through the windsheild and look at the roof pillars, it appears that this car may be a station wagon.

I agree with P.G. The world then was much safer, By economic and military standerds we were on top of the world , the carefree innocence of this great nation shows in this piture of both car and lady. as Simon and Garfunkle sang . Time was it was a time of innocence , it was a time of confindances. great snapshot.

It seems surreal.Everything about this picture is beautiful:
the sexy lady, the car, the green
shrubs and the sunny weather! It’s all in a different world than today’s hurried life. After all, who would take the time to do this nowadays? You’ll either be shot or runned down by a druken driver! This picture is pure innocense that America has lost forever.

This really brings me back to the days in L.A. when the freeways were fairly new, clean, graffiti-free and lined with ivy. Someone mentioned that ther is no center divider, back in those days the freeway used to have a chain-link fence with a cable running down the center.

Hi Charles,

The car looks similar to the one Joe Friday drove in the old Dragnet episodes.

Our car had a flat in that area at one time. We changed it AFAP(!) (as fast a possible), too dangerous to hang out for long. I still have steel belt punctures in my fingers.
