We’ve all had cars that we have loved and lost, and this latest collection of photographs from the archives of the Chronicle & Echo show some the modes of transport used in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s.
All the images come our glass plate negatives file. Some of the captions are very brief, while others have been fleshed out following feedback from readers.
