I'll bet you can identify what has been photographed, and
where the photograph was taken, in less than 3 seconds.

Thanks, Tony, for the generous 3 second allowance. Actually, my identifying both of them was almost instantaneous.

The background is, of course, the old Flagler Hotel ( now the Flagler College ) in St. Augustine, FL.

The car is a 1955 Chrysler Imperial. That distinctive tail light was carried over into 1956 and used again on the Imperial....as well as the Southampton model. My gut feeling, though, is that you're showing the 1955 Imperial.....possibly, however, it's one of the 56's.

Good, but a bit disappointing. I expected you to narrow it down in location to "taken on Cordova Street
next to the Lightner Museum" and providing the milage on the car and the original sticker price.

Yo Tony,

rofl

I started to further nail down the location by saying that you were standing by the Casa Monica Hotel when you took the shot....which, of course, you were.

That's the only time I've seen that Imperial parked there. They usually have an old ( 1920 something ) Ford parked in that spot.

Tom

P.S. BTW....that is the '55 model of the Imperial.
