Topic: More found photos (trying to revive this)

[Terry]

I just took delivery of a Ricohmatic 44 bought on the Goodwill auction site.  And it had a roll of film inside.  So, of course, I immediately stand developed in R09, not knowing what it was except that it was b&w.  Disappointing results, except for one frame:

The rest of the roll was grey blobs...this is clearly an old Texaco gas (petrol) station.  The car looks 60's to my eye.  And it looks very much like it was shot from a old diner (the typical scalloped canopy above the window).

Any other found photos out there waiting to be shared?

I agree with you on the age of the car but how can you tell if it's a Texaco Station?

I'm not sure if I've shared this one yet.  It was in a camera my brother bought in an antique store.  This was 616 film that I Semi-stand developed in Rodinal for 1 hour.

Excellent photo!  I'm guessing '57-'58 by the shape of the fins on the car.  Thinking it looks very much like the famous '57 Chevy Bel Air.  I figured Texaco because of the star on the wall above the right-hand service bay.  That was always Texaco's logo.
