In today’s gallery we have an assortment of parking lot photos in various locations across the USA. All of these images save the last one are over fifty years old, some of them over sixty. It is always fun and sad at the same time, to see these cars as they lived their lives back when they were just a car. Now so many have disappeared for all practical purposes, with others worth so much they get restored and cloned to the point it seems like there are more of them now than there ever were back in the day.
Our first stop is in Woodstock, Vermont at the Woodstock Inn. The license plates are Vermont issue used from ’69-’71 which is within a few years after this new building was completed to replace an old one that wasn’t worth refurbishing. From the left in the foreground a ’68 Ford Falcon 4 door sedan, ’69 Chevrolet Camaro convertible still wearing its snow tires, ’67 Plymouth Barracuda Hardtop Coupe, and a ’66 or ’67 Volkswagen Type 1 with a ski rack. Parked in the street are two ’61-’67 International Scouts, a white over green Travel-Top to the left, and a white over red Utility (pickup) by the tree. In between them is a ’67 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door sedan.
