While not a car, we stayed in Lebanon, OH fairly near where daughter no. 2 graduated from Miami Univ. this past Sat. I've admired this old Texaco station before, but the overhead bay doors were opened so I walked up. It's a very cool barber shop.

That barbershop is immaculate looking outside. Little cluttered inside, LOL. I like the mechanic tool boxes as storage for the barbers' materials. And the wide whitewall tires. I'll have to look that up. Maybe I'll go to the Blues Festival when they have a car show later in the summer...
Did @uplanderguy make to the Harper Valley movie location ice cream store on the main north/south street?

The Comisars of Maisonette restaurant fame used to own it.
I've eaten there multiple times, but never stayed there, as it is less than an hour from where we live.

Miami of OhioMiami University is a good university.Feel free to refer to University of Miami as Miami of Florida, grin.
The two names are different but sports folks couldn't seem to understand that so they started using the diminutive "of Ohio."

When my son was an intern in the senator's office, we went there to eat with him. He told the gentleman seating us that he worked for the senator. The man said, "I do too" and laughed.
We put the Golden Lamb visits on the same level as the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill restaurant. Because my wife has difficulty walking both are a challenge because of steps.

The school names of that area (like Miami) can be confusing to west coasters. I recall when I was in high school, I knew a kid a couple years older than me who went to "Cornell". I was quite impressed by this, and eventually someone told me it was actually "Cornell College", which didn't have the same cachet.
If you like that type of food, have you been to the Boone Tavern in Berea, KY?

I remember seeing shirts on students that said "Miami was a university before Florida was a state", LOL.
I love the town of Oxford. It sits on top of a hill, out in the middle of nowhere, basically. But, after this past weekend, I don't care if I ever drive from Lebanon to Oxford and back, ever again! We did that several times this weekend. I gotta say, it's the farthest I've driven/ridden in our new Equinox and I think the tire noise, mostly from the rear, is bothersome. My Cruze is quieter.
Coming off daughter no. 1's wedding the weekend before, we're both tired, to say the least. The wedding was 2 hrs. 15 mins. from us and graduation about 4 hrs. 15 mins. from us.
I did see a fairly decent red and black '55 Plymouth two-door hardtop, guessing a Belvedere, in Oxford on Sat.
The Portmans do own the Golden Lamb. It's not luxurious, but old and historic-looking. Upstairs in the halls I'm sure it looks the same as it did in 1962. The Harding room was small....real small. We'd stayed there previously but in bigger rooms.
Did you stop by Bagel & Deli in Oxford to get something to eat?
A lot of Americans go to Canada to play junior hockey, then come back to the states for college.
In the workplace garage, the ~85 Prelude Si is here again - must be a summer car, and there's a later model Corvette with all kinds of racing signage and gingerbread mingling with the cloned Subarus and MDX/RX crowd, stands out.
So, while we didn't get to stay there, we did get to pay a couple hundred dollars (non-refundable portion of the reservation) to walk through the lobby for about five minutes!

Sorry you took it that way. It was referred to that way for many years while a football powerhouse and has always had a strong academic reputation regardless of its name. Actually, if I saw Miami University, I might confuse that as the one in Florida. Just a matter of perspective I guess. Either way, Uplander's daughter done good!
No, but I have eaten there once.
But..after graduation, when my wife and I wanted just to get back to Lebanon (daughter was going to a party with friends), our older daughter and her husband wanted to go to Bagel and Deli and for us to meet them at "The Municipal Lot uptown" for us to pick up a package from their car. We didn't know where that was so said "Meet us at Kroger's lot" which made daughter no. 1 not happy, LOL.
Of course, Oxford was wall-to-wall cars at that point.
Yup, Kroger isn't that close to B & D.
And it wound up in the bay

A friend of mine, used to modern cars, claims I get a wheel off the ground when taking ramps at speed.
And then when searching for an image, I go down a rabbit hole and find this cool wagon conversion (from France), never seen it before:
Don't know if you get Collectible Auto magazine, but I just got the latest issue (Aug) and there is a decent article, with plenty of pictures, on Mopar cars from 1960. It has some nice shots of those Dodge vehicles you like. 1960 is an interesting year for Chrysler products whether someone likes the styling or not, including stuff like Unibody on big cars (except Imperial).
