Love the Studebaker shot. Here's one angle on (couldn't get in front of it because the cars on the ferry were packed in tightly as usual.)

Will, I drove one of those 1962 Valiants in high school!  Woo hoo, that car was a sweet ride -- my dad bought it for $75.00 from the original owner.  While the grille wasn't all that special (compared to others in this thread), the body was rather unique, with it's tiny (almost vestigial) tail fins:



Mine was the same color as this one.  Smiley  Several teenagers could fit into the trunk, not that I ever did a stunt like that.
