'57 Chevy in a circa 1950 photo? Only if Marty McFly was the driver (sorry).

Definitely a Chevy. 1940-something?

Yeah.
Correct.

Apologies for spacing that off.

The Chevy sedans and were pretty much unchanged from 1940 to 1947 The next generation (the first family car I can remember) was only slightly changed. It wasn't until about 1953 that they changed to a more modern squarer look.

Very common in the public/community manner - urban and rural - for educational systems to be handled by the local Wat. Still practiced well into the 1960s before the change.
This scene here - Wat Baan Thuan, Amphoe Phanom Tuan, Kanchanaburi - June 1937

Cracking picture and it could be argued that things haven't really progressed a great deal since the the day the photo was taken.

Shame you're an absolute bellend, mind.

Thanx again. The above 66 DM car park is indeed a great pic.
Can you find more 50's-60-70's colour photos?
TIA.
