I'm going to guess polio. One of the Presidents, or his wife, was afflicted by it in the 1940s...IIRC.

Yes, I am really looking forward to your driving impressions. Also, the C-pillar is quite a C-pillar. Is this thing easy to see out of? Let us know. From looking at the scenery and the look of the houses, that's got to be Northern California.

Good for you! The Carolinas are beautiful.

Exactly. My rule: don't feel comfortable renting a car and driving around, won't go there. In only 2 days in London... Day 1: tried to cross the street in front of Victoria Station, stepped into the roadway after looking the "wrong" way, almost got hit... Day 2: had to get into the airport shuttle, opened the door, ended up staring at the steering wheel... I found the people there incredibly polite, but it was soooo nice to be on a plane heading back to the U.S. Damn, Newark (arrival airport) looked good! Today: Bought my first free lunch, of about 4 that the gift certificate my boss gave me will cover.

Hey, I like all the bay windows in your neighborhood. Nah, mine would have been: Dec 25 - could have taken pictures of my best friend, his wife, their 2 little kids, so not really relevant Dec 26 - could have taken a picture from the top floor of Harrah's (The Forest Buffet) looking out over Lake Tahoe, but didn't Might drive down to SF and take pictures of the skyline/bay on N.Y.'s weekend

No. However, the car from the 50s and 60s that I find the quirkiest is the '59 Impala, notably for its rear taillights.

Nice pictures, Mustang. I miss having my car covered in snow every now and then. Also, that's a cool eclectic "Romanesque - whatever else" building in the background in a brick color more typical of the Midwest than the East. A school or civic building? Me, I just got back from Lake Tahoe this afternoon, instead of this evening. I took advantage of the fact that the pass over the summit was free of snow. So did a lot of other people!

Lighting strikes twice. Just this a.m., I saw one JUST like the photo I posted, except that this one had alloy wheels but had a column shift.

Many Intermountain West cities look just like this ... parts of Denver included. For those of you Easterners who think ALL of the West is great, here's proof it ain't. But the car was nice!
