keiser31 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) That is a Model 75 Chrysler roadster, not an Imperial 80. The Imperial has scallops on the hood top. Edited April 5, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I feel like the sign is photo-shopped in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, because the guy is clearly using his cell phone to ask his wife for permission to spend $100 on what appears to be a really great deal.

I've seen this photo decades back, and a different photo taken from the front of the car. I do agree the sign in this colorized one has been enhanced some, as the original black & white photo was quite fuzzy. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually pretty amazing what they were able to do with no computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years, older photos were either airbrushed, or used hand-tinting with colored oils, etc. Portrait photos were most often enhanced with facial imperfections removed by hand, long before digital photography or Photoshop.

Dandy Dave Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 To answer the original posters question. As far as survival rate figure only 10 percent survived after 10 years. And then the numbers go down from there. There is one small chance in 1000 that it survived. It was bought as a used car and drove like one back in the day.
