December 17th, 1960. Sterling Place and 7th Ave in Brooklyn after a TWA Super Connie and a United DC-8 crashed midair, one landing on Staten Island.

A little boy was the sole survivor from the DC-8. Those were the days when the new jets would descend for landing at high speeds below 10,000 feet (speed limit below 10 now is 250 knots) and I think the DC-8 ran over the top of the Constellation, also approaching Idlewild (now Kennedy) for landing.

That must have been the conversion lot for the 1969 Charger Daytonas. Look at the third car in the center and you'll see the flush rear window has been added with its accompanying bad body work but the regular front sheetmetal is still intact and no wing is installed yet.

Steve, could that car be a Charger 500 too with that flush rear glass?

No. The 500s were built much earlier than the Daytonas so they wouldn't be at the conversion plant at that later date. Also, look at the grills, it has the standard Charger nose, not the swapped-in Coronet grill.

It's like cavemen and dinosaurs...they were not on the same planet at the same time.
