Calling on my Russian translator (Pilgrim65) for this one! I wonder how many captions can you suggest with this picture. I will start with this one "How on earth do I start this thing?!"

I believe this is a "tribute car" I am aware of one 39-80C i believe the owner told me he made it look like the pace car. All the historic pictures of the '39 pace car (that I have seen) show it with a truck back. But....

The cars look their age but the airliner seems fairly modern.  Or is it just me?  

The Boeing 707, which was the basis for the retired Air Force One behind the 1959 Buicks, flew the first commercial service with Pan American during October, 1958.  The '59 Buicks were newly-arrived on the showroom floors, so the cars and the 707 are contemporaries.
