Wonder if we can get Gordon Lightfoot to do a song about that 58 Chev in the parking lot...
I’ve never seen that shot of the old girl. Still a haunting song to this day. One of my faves.
By co-incidence, about 5 days ago, I was here in Myrtle Beach South Carolina, talking to a fellow who was a deckhand on a lake tanker back in those days. He commented that they crossed paths fairly frequently with the Edmund Fitzgerald.
We were at the old Holiday Inn in Windsor, Ontario many years ago, it was literally right on the Detroit river (sat on piers). We were sitting on the balcony when the Arthur Anderson drifted by, it seemed spooky to see it. It was the ship that was a few miles behind the night the Edmund Fitzgerald disappeared from the surface.
It is amazing, these ships are so huge (1000 feet), especially the ones that operate in the upper great lakes but they are essentially silent.
Must have been an interesting conversation VR.

The Arthur Anderson...another part of the Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald story
Yes, it was interesting hearing about the life on the lakes. He said it was a wonderful life, but then he met the young lady who became his wife... and then life got even better!
These 58's were popular with the drag racing crowd. Must have made great tow vehicles...One is a Pontiac but just about the same thing!

I see a couple of C 2's behind the 58 chev . No kidding, you seemed to find alot of the 58's in the racing pics. The 58 american Pontiac probably towed better as they had a bigger engine and it was a slightly bigger car. The car in front of the Pontiac has slicks in back , the car in front of it has what looks like ordinary nylon tires nice hugging fenders and moon discs and is plated so must be a street legal car.

.........somehow I don't believe that is a real sign. Tigers were used in Esso and Frosted Flakes commercials. 58 was the first so called big block V8 with the 348 and called it Turbo Thrust but any GM ads I ever seen had no big pussy cat in it.
...place is probably still there, the dog on the steps may be gone. There is a gas bowser behind the 58. Maybe that is oil he sells from the barrel but could be gas too. That is a old trading post. Not sure what the totem like poles represented ?
The white 58 Brookwood wagon has a V8 in it . A friend of mine in Yorkton has a 58 Parisienne coupe same color as the above american 58 Pontiac. The silver blue Impala has dual exhaust and he swapped out the reverse light with a red lens and what almost appears to be cupboard door handles on either side of the licence plate.
