Default Dad's Oval Window

My Dad cleaning the windshield with my Uncle. Just a couple of Dutch-Austrian boys back when dapper mattered. Probably a Nederland sticker on the rear fender. They had it shipped over from Europe. Before my time, but thanks for inspiring me to search for this old photo. Years later, Dad bought a new '70 Astro Blue/Antique White topped Chevelle and my Uncle one-upped him with a sweet Mulsanne Blue '71 Monte Carlo with Corvette Rallys (and people wonder how I got this way). Both gone a long time but never far. Bleib Gesund.

What a timeless photo. Full on suits. Amazing to see it. “When dapper mattered”. Best saying in a long time. Thanks for sharing!

Cheers
Dave

Cool pic! You didn't mention the year, but probably a '54 or '55 judging by the oval window and lack of fender signals. The gentleman in the foreground is blocking the semaphore signal arm in the post.
