Desert View Watchtower, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
Oldsmobile…think it’s a 55, might be 54. My first car was a 53 Olds 88.
PHeymont — you owned a Rocket 88? Remember that old song by Ike Turner and Jackie Brentson? Here’s the you-tube link to remind those who may have forgotten this classic song — one of the first Rock ‘n Roll tunes ever.

Great Pic!
I’ve got to get the Cuban secrets for contolling rust. Amazing they are able to keep those cars up with the limited parts they have for them
I recall as a boy my dad’s best friend had a Pontiac like this. It was a beautiful car and the pride of his life. It ended up being totaled in a car crash (he survived), but I still remember his pride in showing off the polished beauty! His was two tone brown, I think.
Fell in love with this remarkable example but – no idea of the Make and Model !
If you take too close an interest you cant get a pic without the Owner, Wife and Kids !
