1950 Dodge
from Alex Emond in southern Saskatchewan: "This car belongs to a man from Ponteix who has property on opposite corners of town. They like to drive this car around in the summer ... it's very original. Well taken care of but not so precious that it never sees a gravel road. Same age as me , which adds an element of humour to it. I remember our family having a similar Plymouth back when I was a kid.

Hot Stuff at Bonneville
Another of Don Palmer's Kodachromes from the mid-1950s out there on the salt flats. Was the sky really bluer then, or was it the kodachrome? Check out Isky Racing Cams.

Alfred Bohns: Fin Days & Kodachrome Montreal
from Urbanphoto: Alfred Bohns arrived in Montreal from a small town in Germany in the lte 1950s. He lived with his wife Hannelore in an apartment on Clark Street just above Prince Arthur, next to two other European couples. The six of them used to spent their free time wandering around the city, taking photos of their new home...
Many of these are scanned from colour 35mm Kodachrome slides. Developing the slides back in the late 50s cost Bohns no small portion of the two dollars he earned every day working at a hatmaking shop on Mayor Street.
We posted more Bohns photos from fin days a few years back.
