Rhode Island's Old Cars Today: 1950 - 1959

Product Detail:

Rhode Island's Old Cars Today: 1950 to 1959 takes the reader from the design change of the 1949 "Shoebox" Ford to the ultimate tail fin of the 1959 Cadillac pictured on the back cover. The series includes: 1905 to 1949, 1960 to 1969 and 1970 to 1979.
     Due to the request of many owners of trucks, the author has also published Rhode Island's Old Trucks Today: 1921 to 1979.
     Some folks have found the "one" and have no intention of restoring it. They just drive it and enjoy it. Some have done unbelievable custom body work and paint schemes. Each person has their own idea and story.
     The author has traveled from Woonsocket to Westerly and Nasonville to Newport in search of old cars and trucks to photograph. If it was not raining, he was at an event somewhere every day. People started commenting, "Ray must have cloned himself because he is everywhere."
     The author has photographed over 1,000 vehicles to create this series for your enjoyment.
