Las Vegas, 1968

Are the Las Vegas carspotting scenes we run – like these two, courtesy Vintage Las Vegas – as representational of what Americans drove at the time as any of the rest of the carspotting scenes? After all, Las Vegas is a destination, a place where people went on vacation, a place that attracted a certain demographic. We’re more likely to see carspotting scenes at the glitzy casinos and resorts rather than at the Las Vegas grocery stores. Then again, even Las Vegas and that certain demographic were part of the entire American landscape, so while these photos aren’t representational of the whole, they’re still illustrative, particularly as a part of the whole. Anyway, up top is the Stardust as seen from the Silver Slipper, and below we see the Thunderbird, both located on the strip. What do you see here?
