While we don’t have the whole story behind these two photos that Shorpy recently posted, we can piece together some bits based on what we see here. About the only context provided with the photos is that they were taken in 1958 somewhere in Ontario. Toronto’s always a good place to start looking in Ontario, and indeed, there’s an Eastville Avenue (as seen in the below photo) in Toronto. Eastville runs into Kingston Road, and the street number in the above photo, 3060, is located just a few blocks up Kingston from the intersection with Eastville – which explains why the used car dealerships in the two photos, while similar, appear to be in two different locations. Perhaps the guys in that station wagon were cruising Kingston’s used car lots, looking for some fresh hot rod material? What do you see here?
