Sweepspear Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I love scrutinizing old photos for the cars!Looks to have been around '74 or so?I was 13 then. Funny how you can't remember lots looking like that. The attrition rate of cars is so gradual you don't notice it happening. Even a parking lot photo from 15 years ago will look somewhat vintage.I of course spotted the Boattail Riv right off the bat!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1970 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 My guess is '74 also. The newest car I see is a 1974 Cutlass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petelempert Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Look at how many 2 door coupes there were back then. The 4 doors are few and far between. Today, all you'd see would be 4 doors...if you could see past the sport utilities. Forgive me Riv maniacs, but if I could take just one from the photo, it would have to be the late 60's blue Chevelle in the lower right corner. Also might be a GTO with a Ram Air hood in the middle near the light pole...not sure. PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Maine Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Cool, but I do need a magnifying glass. My eyes aren't what they were back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb1970 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yeah if I had to choose. It would either be the blue '68 Chevelle on the right. Or the green '67 Cougar on the far left behind the Pontiac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm with BB1970, the Cougar or the Chevelle. Chevelle has SS stripes, so I think that is the one. Who caught the Edsel?What gets me is the ratio of cars to pickups. Now at least 1/3 of the lot would be pickup based. All these pickups have campers on them.

Booreatta Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Jayson, I think I have owned most of these cars......except the Gremlin....Oh my, and then there is a VW bug, blue Vega, red Plymouth Roadrunner,Pontiac LeMans, a couple of Cougars, a boattail Riviera, and a Chevy truck with camper. I only see about 6 foreign cars but might be more. Thanks for the memoriesChuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

page2171 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The first car that jumped out at me was the '72 Lemans...looks to be the same color as the '71 Lemans that was my first car.The other thing that stuck out to me is the diversity of colors instead of the shades of gray that seem so popular today.
