Retro car images

Plan59 is a cool web site. It has pictures and photos from the 1950s. Mainly of cars, but the images have people and places that are interesting.

This photo caught my eye initially because it shows a 1960 Chevrolet. My first car was a 1960 Chevrolet - a white one, and a different model.

Then... the scenery looked... familar. Reading the caption on the web site - duh! - the photo was taken on Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier Nat'l Park.

The location is just below Logan Pass on the east side of the pass. The mountain in the background poking into the clouds is "Going-to-the-Sun" mountain at 9642 ft (2939 m) . I have hiked around it by going over Siyeh Pass - quite a climb!

Here is another example of their car art. This appears to be from an ad. Wouldn't you like to own this 1959 Cadillac? Look at its lines. And the tail fin! Glamorous! Oh.. and the couple looks nice also.
