Strangely enough, I have no idea! It's odd looking isn't it? It seems semi-translucent. Honestly, I don't even remember seeing it at the time I made this picture, though I must have. It's in my neighborhood so I'll have to swing by and check it out.

What year is the image from?

I don't think any car there is newer than 1967, as I don't see any side marker lights.

I had some bad times as passenger in a Corvair, the driver was not good at snow.

A football team slid up to us, hopped out and carried the Corvair back on the road. Then they were gone. The driver did it again...

The truck looks newer than '67. Maybe they specialize in 'classics'? It threw me as well.

Although I wouldn't put it past Austin to have a time machine in his bag!

My first thought was that Austin was going through his archives, but knowing him, he probably took it last week. Like it, have a nice Corvair shot myself.

As a matter of fact, I did take it last week, or technically, a couple of weeks ago. No offense to any of my seniors here (eh-hem), but my archives don't go as far back as these cars, as I myself was manufactured in 1970. :-)

I wish I could tell you the story on this dealership, but no one was around. It really did appear to be frozen in time.

Oh now I’m a senior, and my forman at work commented that it was nice to have an old timer on the job. Heck I was built in 1960, really didn’t think I was getting old but now I’m starting to wonder.

Anyway Austin, love the image and the fact that’s it so recent. Also having a Corvair it a nice bonus.

I love a mystery and feel a tad bad about possibly spoiling this one, but I do believe that is one very straight tree trunk. If you look at the photo closely and follow the line up, you can see the left side of the trunk appearing above the first branch crossing over from the tree to its left. Convoluted much?

At any rate, another wonderful picture from you Mr. Granger.
