    Nice. The white car in the first pic; I'm thinking it is a late 50's model? Maybe a '58 chevy?

    It is very hard to guess what make/year the white car is....but defiantly mid to late 50's. Here is a picture of a 1956 Oldsmobile Super 88 Sports Coupe for comparison.

    I'm guessing 1957 Oldsmobile super 88 4 door

    Hard to tell in that pic with faded colors but probably white on the bottom and sunset glow on the top.

    I think I posted on another thread, but comic Ron White said a 90 year old German/Texan farmer showed him a plow with a seat and said he though that when he saw one, he believed everything that could be invented, now had been.

    1958 Olds

    I remember them as having that look where you see the "Eighty Eight" in the picture plus the stripes on the rear fender.
