1957 Pontiac Safari

I was shooting a truck at Bob's Christmas tree lot when this car pulled up. I planned to link this to the truck post but I realized I have not posted that yet, I will post the truck soon. When I talked to the owner of the Pontiac Safari he said his wife got angry when he brought this home. The floor boards were rusted out and now that it is restored she loves it. 

UPDATE: I was told by Val Ramsey that this is actually a 1957 Pontiac Safari.

McDonald's Old Style

This is the  McDonald's in Yakima Washington it is strait out of the 1950's. This how McDonald's looked when they were franchised in May of 1953 the second McDonald's was opened in Phoenix, Arizona by Neil Fox an executive at Occidental Petroleum. Under the single arch located up on the roof is the original McDonald's mascot Speedee, he was later replaced by Ronald McDonald. Inside they have a McDonald's themed motorcycle, a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz you can eat in along with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. They also have a Rockola jukebox and the interior of the building is decorated with pictures of 1950's icon's from Rock and Roll to Hollywood movie stars.
