A somewhat mysterious slide from September 1959. I found it in a box with architectural slides of San Francisco’s Mission District, but if this is San Francisco, then it is a part of the city I have never been to. It’s not shot on Twin Peaks, since you wouldn’t see these tall hills in the East if we assume that this is around sunset time.
That’s a sharp looking late-50s Volkswagen Beetle this couple was taking up into the hills. Sunroof, white wall tires and a radio which was probably playing some Henry Mancini tunes at the time.
i was only about 5 or so years old when this picture was taken………it makes me want to have been there…..
Yeah, it’s a very nostalgic picture… and it looks like the two of them had a wonderful trip.
I’d love to find out more about this couple and the photo, but there was no other slide in that box that relates in any way to this photo. Some mysteries can never be solved…
