As you can see we weren’t alone, lots of onlookers, the car isn’t bad either.” LS The Brumos car dealership is well represented in the collection of Loyd Sandgren’s work as well as attractive young ladies.

Unidentified model atop a 1950’s vintage Pontiac at what looks like a car show.

(Update) Thank you to the Vintage Jacksonville fans who were quick to […]
