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.
The back Oldsmobile is cruising through 1958. The front is in some other year. Looks like pure Cuban Classic.
It’s a 1958 Oldsmobile – probably a Super 88 sedan. Like the ’53 Chevy, it’s missing some trim that would positively identify the model.
BTW – here’s a web site that you folks should enjoy… brochures of hundreds of American cars: http://www.lov2xlr8.no/broch1.html
Dave…thanks for that site! I just revisited some of my growing-up favorites…and even noticed the 53 “Dodge” on the front page of the site that’s not really a Dodge! We had a 53 Coronet, and…
That’s a cool car too, Garry, but I’m still in love with that red 53 Chevy! Hope you’ve got lots more of these to put up.
Damn, there’s GM in there somewhere, but I don’t think it came from the factory that way. Kinda looks Pontiac in the front and Olds in the back? Hey, DaveB…can you figure it?
Thanks for that website, Dave B! It’s the kind of thing I like to look at and get nostalgic about.
