Mitch wrote:...from what I see upon further study is that it may be a Chrysler Windsor, due as you say to the tail lights. Desoto tail lights were mini-circular, (I think only two on the Fireflight and three on the Firedome), with reverse lamp at the bottom, and Chrysler tail lights were elongated, (fat at the bottom narrowing to the top in one piece). But then, OTOH, Desoto tail lights also had that little body hook out over the lamp assembly. Then there's the paint. Dodge and Desoto had a bit wider two-tone stripe down the side than the Chrysler 300, New Yorker, Saratoga, and the Windsor....


I think you are right, Mitch. I typed my opinion previously wrong (which I just now went back and corrected), wanting to say I thought that car was a Chrysler, not a Desoto, due to those taillights. I'm a bit embarrassed about typing in the wrong name but had been distracted by my wife coming into the study for conversation while composing the reply.

Thank you, HONDO. With that link for Chrysler, you just verified Mitch and I were right about interpreting those taillights as belonging to Chryslers. Nice.

Other than being a better paved road today, I wonder what other changes might have taken place along that section of Rt. 30?

I now remember that I did 2(?) years ago on my way to the Chicago O scale meet.

I would imagine you would barely have gotten a view of the fields and open-land, at all, huh.

It is a road I regret never traveling on when I had my Harley. I did go over it twice back in the '70s in an 18 wheeler. Considerably more expensive, but a hell of a lot less work by using the turnpike when runnin' a fully loaded tractor-trailer.

Hey Murph, do ya remember goin' east after passing the Ship Hotel and down close to the bottom of the mountain in a nearly 90 degree right turn, the sign for GOAT'S MILK FUDGE?? :)

Nah, maybe I was napping by then, Mitch.

However, nowadays, I have noticed large wind-power machines standing very tall over some fields along Rt30 where it gets close to the PA Trnpk exit @ Irwin. I always stay at that Holiday Inn Express, there, when I visit home.
