Cicero at Dakin...Nickey Rent a Car..or Truck

Great photo ! Bought my Beatles and Doors records at the Kee store. Jack in the Box was great, made many passes through there in my Roadrunner for super tacos and shakes. The Plymouth dealer was a couple blocks north of there, by the McDonalds, but I don't remember the dealer name now. The busses used to stop dead when they turned corners and the trolley arms popped off of the grid wires. The driver had to get out and pop them back on. I think I see some tire tracks up Cicero Ave from the F70's on the RR, have stack of tickets for proof...lol

I just got and have been reading a book on old the old Portage Park neighborhood. I didn't know its history until now. Pretty interesting. You can get it here pretty cheap.

Did you slow down north of Montrose on Cicero for deadman's curve?
Wasn't the dealer Portage Chrysler/Plymouth?

The walls were covered in paint and rubber marks from the people who didn't slow down!
