And the best part of it was, 95% of those old cars had a trunk that could haul enough groceries home to feed a family of 6 for a month, especially those 2 1958's(Chevy/Ford) side by side, as for the Mustangs, Pinto and VW, that's a different story. In the last photo, did they unload that tiny one out of that 49 Ford's trunk to run through the isles in that supermarket? Excellent photos...really enjoyed them! Keep em coming.

Check the prices posted in the windows of some of the stores. With food prices these days, I get to eat a lot of beans and mush.:yuk:
