From Then & Now: "Chrysler's Chrysler"- 1937 and 2012

Having grown up on Long Island’s south shore in the ‘50s,  I’m sentimental of cars like this. As a young teenager, with an itch to drive the nicer cars than our family Ford, I found a way to do it legally.
Working as a caddy at one of the country clubs, I washed and parked many of the cars owned by the members.  The nicer ones included a ‘55 T-Bird, black convertible, but goshdarn, it had an automatic.  At an evening function, I’d also get to valet park, where some of the more challenging ones appeared…(Remember, I was 14) including a large British sedan, silver, with a dashboard row of toggle switches I was stymied by.  Where to start it?
Ahh, the memories are still with me as it was there I cut my teeth on the cars built with style and panache!

How would you access this new area from the existing bike path?

Very cool. How far back does it extend? Does the road go beyond that fence there in the pic with the Alco in it?

I can only imagine the excitement you felt getting behind the wheel of that great Chrysler.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video of the car being moved to your garage.

From Bruce K:
“Great photography.  In the opening scene I was thinking that the Chrysler’s motor was a little noisy but ok for being stored so long while backing out of the garage.  Then I saw the “skinny” tow line connecting it to the noisy diesel pickup, sneaky photographer you hired!”

THANKS FOR SHARING.  i’m not sure but the rear fenders seems rather cutaway or maybe there are fender skirts missing.  Am sure you’ll have a grat deal of fun.  Love the headline: Chrysler’s Chrysler.
