    Since there are no more cars to select from, I'm curious why a waffle shop has a pair of oversized candy canes out front?

    It's pretty hnard to tell exact MY on mostg of those. The 'Stang could bed either a '65 or '66. The Continental anything from '61 to '64. The GTO is possibly the newest car ('67?)

    And two cars ahead of the Ford (with, I believe, a 55 Chevy wagon in between) is a bathtub Nash. I can't discern the year or model.

    On one of my visits to see my folks in CA, a friend of the family was working on his pilot's license. He invited me up for one of his "lessons". I sat in the back while they did a couple of touch and go's at the airport in Oxnard, then we flew to Big Bear and had lunch at the airport restaurant.

    Whatever I ate didn't agree with me, and I got a bit airsick on the flight home (roughly 1.5 hours, IIRC). I slept most of the flight back, but it cured me of ever being concerned on a commercial airliner.

    75ish Celica GT. I had this same car in white. Back in about 1989. It was already completely rotted out. The rockers were just gone. But was kinda fun to drive.

    I almost miss my old days of cheap crappy cars that came and went.

    A friend of mine had one of those Celica's.
    He had the door opened and his foot on the ground when someone backed into the open door.
    It wrapped around his leg. He was a pretty strong and in shape guy.

    Yup, it's a '76 Celica Liftback. Sounds like it was a worse ruster than my '79 Accord (which wasn't "fun to drive"‚)

    Those were generally considered a Toyota take on a ‘60s Mustang fastback. They did not last for very long up here in this environment.

    When I was shopping for a new car in 1977, I wanted a Celica liftback so bad.. But, they were $6K, and I couldn't swing it on my $2.30/hr job... :#

    Red car looks like a Z.

    340 duster up by the building. Nice.

    Big Benz in the middle. Maybe a 4.5

    You sure that’s 1974? The Toyota was released as a ‘75 model

    Not my pic, so going by what the source claimed. Maybe someone bought it new shortly after introduction to save on gas, hated it, and traded it in?

    No worries, just curious.

    I figure none of the pics posted here are "ours", so we only have the posters source to go on.

    Maybe the Corona debuted in 74 in some markets? Here's a period press photo (I googled it, as I was thinking those were 74):



    In the pic near the showroom a MB W108/109, I am leaning towards 109, not very old then either.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,691
    Seattle, must be around 1970 (I think this was the 2nd location of what eventually became a chain):


  • MichaellMichaell Moderator Posts: 266,641
    OK, maybe it was refreshed in '74. We had a '73, bought in August of that year. Wonder if the folks got a discount because it was the end of the year and the dealer wanted to get rid of it?

    Peak Chrysler there, 1966 Newport 2-door.

    Old Spaghetti Factory is definitely a chain, we even had one here for a few years. They still seem to be around elsewhere.

    There was one just a couple of blocks from my old office in Downtown Denver, when I moved here 30 years ago.

    Spokane still has an old school Old Spaghetti Factory, same location since 1970 I think, it's like going back in time (this city has numerous establishments with that feeling).
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,691
    Car at lower right in the Old Spaghetti Factory pic maybe a Riviera?

    Seattle, March 5, 1975 - should be a few things to pick out here, zooms well enough. I will start with what looks like a Cowichan sweater:
