From Sept. 1951. My Dad, laughing as he empties sand from his shoes after a beach walk. Photo by my Mom, taken during their honeymoon, probably on Cape Cod, MA. He is sitting on his infamous green Chrysler, which eventually died and was abandoned on the Cross-Bronx Expressway.

Jim Shulman, Jim Nichols or any other car buffs, can you tell what year the green Chryler is? I've heard 1947, but I don't know for sure. Here are a couple of other pictures of it:

Can't help with the car, but 13MiltPipe is in front of the Woods Hole Library.

You can tell who was the photographer in the family by which pictures are sharper. :-)

Yeah, I noticed right away. :-)   Fun set. I'm glad you have them to enjoy.

Note that the film is original Kodachrome, ASA 10. Ten. 1/50 second at f/6.3 in bright sunshine, longer if you wanted DOF.

I have a few Kodachromes from when my parents were courting, about ten years earlier than these, and none are quite sharp. Lots of motion blur and whatever the camera was, the lens may not have been great.
