57-58 Ford speedometers
The speedometer on those models goes past 120, if you look closely there are 2 more dots not numbered but mean 125 & 130.
A friend had a 58 Fairlane 2 door with the gold “Interceptor” on the glove box. 352, 4 barrel dual exhaust.
There was a a place where we buried the needle a few times. I guess we are on borrowed time!

Here is one from my own past that I can add.
It was a family vacation to he Trinity Alps resort in northern CA circa 1960. They had cabins along a beautiful stream that could be rented, a general store, bingo night, swimming during the hot days and fishing too.
We went as a family for one precious week every summer for many years.
The first year I went, I was 3 years old, and was too scared to go in the cold water. My "happy place" was to hose off the '56 Ford Ranch Wagon my parents had. Several times a day if I recall.
That was the same trip that the generator stopped generating in Red Bluff on the way from Oakland. I have vague images of the repair shop that fixed it while we had lunch.
One of my earliest memories and I'm 64 now! I learned to like swimming in rivers. By the time I was 12 I would be gone all day up that stream by myself fishing and swimming.

Looks like you can buy the image on ebay and amazon. The ebay listing says it's from a 1953 photoshoot.
