Any guesses how old this photo is? My money is on 80s or early 90s.

 

[Wheelerfreak]

I'd guess earlier than that. I never saw that many cars that old on used lots in the 80's or 90's. I'd guess 60's

Those cars look old and weathered. By the time they were ten years old, they were worth hundreds of dollars, not thousands.

Castrol GTX (see sign) came out in 1968, when those cars were not worth anywhere near that much money.

The hardware on the concrete post looks pretty modern.

Those are post-staglfation prices.

Service entrance also looks too new to be 70s unless for some reason the west coast got them decades before the northeast.

I'm going with late 70s early 80s.

huh never seen one of them, they stop using them or are they a desert thing?

I'm kinda in the land of trees, so they're all wood (or steel for really enormous ones)

our street light pole are concrete,
and there was a project where if it was rotten in the ground they would pull the rotten butt cut it at about 10' high and set a concrete pole with a steel sleeve at the same level, so you saved the top half of the pole but replaced the rotten bottom.

Called "Mod Butt" similar to this

1937. Confederate veteran driving a truck. The civil war was closer to 1937 than WWII to today.

The "why we fight" series of propaganda films opens with Civil War veterans attending the 1941 Independence Day parade in DC.
