Did that crazy "car/plane" have a spinning prop on it that powered it? Or were the front or rear wheels powered? If it had a prop -- Yikes, what could possibly go wrong?

Behind the wingless plane we see a Studebaker and a Willys Jeep Wagon with a pair of Oldsmobiles in the "hammer" lane, and a shoebox ford going the other way- Clara Peller asks: WHERE'S THE BEEF ?? in the old Wendy's commercial I ask: Where's the Buick?

I miss-identified the Packard convertible with a Buick. Probably was to quick in posting the photo without really taking a second look. That piece of grille and mustache fooled me. Maybe the plane is Buick related. At least I learned something about NY press plates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I learned something about NY press plates. Thanks Elpad, Another thing about those "NYP-xxx" New York State issued New York Press license plates: Vehicles with those plates were entitled to use specially reserved curb parking areas which were designated by certain "NO PARKING EXCEPT FOR NYP". There was one such area in New York City on northbound 6th Ave (later Avenue of the Americas) at the corner of 50th Street, directly in front of the Time & Life Building where I was assigned by IBM in the 1960s. This was also directly across 6th Ave from Radio City Music Hall, and diagonally opposite the NBC Building of Rockefeller Center. In those days, the Press Corps were respected, and were afforded special attention. Yes, I could understand the Packard appearing to sport a Buick "Mustache" - thankfully no beard😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
