Is that a 59 or 60? My mental file seems to have shut down after 58. The year, not my age.

It must have a retractable hardtop which would explain why they had to hang the spare in the continental kit on the back.
 

i was thinking older. but i don't know jack about years. was too busy taking photos to get a good look, but that is an awfully big trunk so it probably does retract. never seen one like it. must have been in storage most of its life tho.

i gotta find out how to move my other files over. i have some really nice car pics. oh, have you ever seen a saratoga? my god the fins on that whale!
 

The back end of the 57 looked a lot like "your" car IF you remove the light that's up in the fin.
My memory of the 58 is like the 57 except replace the single round light with a pair of side by side flat ones.
I think yours is a 59. Always thought the rear end was ugly: the spare tire kit makes it worse, never saw that in real life.

Saratoga? Must be a Chrysler.
You want fins? I took my first driver's test in a 57 DeSoto. It had a push-button automatic transmission; you don't see a lot of those around.
 

the oldest car i ever drove was a 67'. sigh. i miss her.
well, i hink you are right. cars seemed to get LONGER later. shit. mom's blue barge 73' new yorker was SOOOoooooo long. but then so were my delta 88's.

i miss those driving couches. i REALLY miss bench seats.
