Like most families in the 1950s and early '60s, my parents owned only one car - a green 1953 Pontiac Chieftan with a cream-colored roof. Mom was petrified to drive it, even though it had a Hydromantic automatic transmission.
So, my father decided to start her out the easy way in this old four wheeled wagon. It wasn't until 1972 that mom finally learned to drive my dad's 1965 Pontiac Bonneville. (This photo was taken with a camera loaded up with Kodak's Kodachrome slide film).
From my Dad's Kodachrome slide collection. I'm almost positive that this was taken in one of Mom & Dad's friends backyard in the Woodmont neighborhood of Milford Connecticut. Aug 1963
Girl in a black bathing suit on Blurry Beach. I recently retrieved (garbage picked) 100' of what appears to be someone's vintage 35mm copy negs of movies from the late 1960s(?)
This will thankfully be the last.
I took this shot with my Kodak Instamatic 104 loaded up with a cartridge of 126 Kodachrome film. Kodachrome was the closest thing to today's digital photography. The colors stay crisp, true and realistic for decades. Kind of like a film time machine.
