Intersection of 51st and Center St Milwaukee, WI ca. 1975. Taken from my parents' balcony. They rented the upstairs of the house for several years when they were first married. These were Ektachrome so the color was trashed, but I was able to fix them up a bit.
Looking the other way up 51st.

I’m always amazed at 60’s pic where odd imports, like the Saab are represented. Odd imports had a quick splash in American transportation. Then just disappeared. _________________ 1973 standard, yellow, lowered, 3” narrowed front, 1600 blo-thru turbo w/single dell 15.4@86, so far

I think the emergence of the Japanese makes had much to do with that. _________________ All he needed was a wheel in his hand and four on the road.
