You'd be right about the 2-door bit...

But don't the fins look a bit different to this one?

..You're a brave, Guy!

Back in 82(?), I had to stop my car using only the hand brake, from about 30MPH, going down a steep hill; coasted
into an across-the-intersection service station--fortunately the traffic light was 'with' me.

Not fun.

I finally made a start with it: putting all my Postcards on a web page.

It's mostly 1957 Dodge, some 1958 and 1959, and some others. Not so much yet, and I would like to have it simpeler, but that will have to wait.

Here they are: www.forwardlook.eu/Postcards/

Is that a Blue Heron parked at the Trade Winds Motel ?

Joakim, the AAA is the American Automobile Association, which organization goes WAY-back (Mr. Peabody) to the earliest
days of motordom-bering....

The AAA was even a racing-sanctioning body (there should be a large Wikipedia posting on it), but, it was, basically,
an auto insurance/car-breakdown-service company, which also had motels/restaurants subscribing to it, wherein they
would give discounts, and other-considerations, to people who belonged to the AAA---so, an AAA member would see a
sign 'welcoming' AAA members, and they would, apparently, be induced to patronize that establishment.

You could have/get the AAA insurance and/or its auto-service agreement, as part of your membership.

BTW, the SoCal AAA (known as the Automobile Club of Southern California) is a VERY-good insurance company, regarding
how well it treats its customers and its claimants.

It's interesting to see these '60 DeSotos with the missing chevrons on the tail lights....even when the car was not that old. I bet they started falling off within a couple years.

I also love the photo of the state of texes in this image. Kocky, ain't it!
