Arlington, Virginia, 1960

Carspotting scenes work best when they offer a good variety of vehicles. Too many of one brand or from one era makes a carspotting image sterile – that’s why we don’t post all that many photos of new car dealerships in this series – but ones with variety provide plenty of opportunities for comparing and contrasting. Take, for instance, this James McDonnell photo of Interstate 395 somewhere in Arlington, Virginia, dated October 1960, which we came across in George Mason University’s special collections. We’ve got cars from all throughout the 1950s, we’ve got imports and domestics, we’ve got big cars and small, all stuck in one traffic jam. So what do you see here?
