MOA Galleria - 1950s Family Shopping
Vintage ad - 1959
"America's family shopping cart." This is some great late '50s retro advertising art. I cropped this image out of an old faded Ford Motor Company print ad. Reason being of course, the super cool picture it features, taken at an unnamed shopping center at the time, somewhere in America (who knows where).

This shopping center is actually the Sears Shopping Center in Lincoln Park, Michigan, approximately 8 miles from the Ford Motor Company Headquarters in Dearborn. I grew up 8 blocks from here and would recognize Sims and Father and Son together, as they were like that until the late 70's. Wow, that brings me back
Heh, nice someone identified that alerady.
For a minute there it reminded me of the DeVeaux Shopping Plaza in Toledo that is near where my late grandmother lived.
No carseats! Today you wouldn't see kids playing in the front seat. Too funny!
And today you wouldn't see a swaky car in such a pastel color either.
Man, that was fast. Jeff identified the place immediately. I thought it would end up staying mysterious.
Such a lively photo though.

I hate changes! (it was fun to be in the front seat as a 5 year old, sort of a luxury if no grown ups were to take it).
