I hadn't been born yet when this picture was taken but the #1 had to be
one of the best looking cars of the day... The date stamped on the photo
during the development process said July 1959 but this car is so clean that
I'm wondering if it might have been taken on opening day, and to my eye, it
looks like it was a few years before its time compared to some of the other
cars that I have seen pictures of from the late 50's. ![]() I went back and double checked the date stamp on the original and verified that it say's "Jul 59". If you guys remember, back when we had to take film to the local drug store to get developed, sometimes it'd take a little time to get your film used up, and then you'd have to save your money knowing that it'd cost a few $'s to get the pictures developed, so sometimes there was a time gap from the time the photo was taken and the date stamped on the border of the image. |
