Ole Po Dunk. Remember him? And other car lots of the past.

Who remembers Po-Dunk?  I may have blogged about this little car lot before.  The man who ran it, Vernon Duncan, was a hard-working man who built the car lot up year by year.  In this picture the house that was beside it still stood and was occupied by the Person family.  This picture came from an old high school yearbook.  Here is another one of an old car lot.  It was in downtown Searcy.  Capps Motor Company on Spring Street.

And how about one more car lot.  It was on West Pleasure Street in Searcy AR.  The house shown in this one recently burned so if you do a drive-by it will be missing.

Can you tell the year of the book by the age of the cars?

Barbara, love these old photos.  Late 50's?  Early 60's?  Hmmm.  Some of these have little fins.

The newest cars look to be around early 1960s.

Barbara S. Duncan By the looks of the 1966 Lincoln, if new, then easy. If a used car, then it must be after 1966.

Patricia, you are close.

Sharon, I like the oldies.

Michael, so do I.

Wilma, it was a used car lot so there were not many new ones.
