Mystery photo number seventeen

August 21, 2012 by Dave Knadler

Strange runes from a different time.

First of all, thanks for your patience in waiting for new mystery photos. I will post the remaining three photos over the next five or six days, so keep checking in. Don’t quit now; the winner gets $50 of my hard-earned gas money. And now, photo number 17:

This row of mysterious chevrons is the only clue I’ll offer for this one. For one point, tell me the name of the landmark on which they’re seen. Hint: It’s nowhere near an interstate highway.

For three points, identify the company responsible for this particular chevron design, and what specific product sported it.

A partial answer will be worth partial points.

    Carhenge?

    I’m guessing that it’s a car logo, but I don’t tknow the model.

      Mark gets one point, for a total of 10.

      Judging from the lack of responses to the second part of the question, maybe another hint is in order. Here it is:

      Wrong make. I’ll need the model, too.

    I have been looking at cars until I’m ready to poke my eyes out and still can’t find the answer—and haven’t resorted to asking the menfolk. I’m going to guess a doubtful Dodge.

      OK, one more clue: This car was made in the same year Francis Gary Powers became a household name.

    How about a Ford Falcon.

      I’m fudging a little here. One point remains for giving me the full year, make and model I’m looking for.

    So, what we were looking at was a 1960 Ford Fairlane 500.

    I’ll post a few other pics of Carhenge. If you haven’t been there, it’s kind of a fun place to look around.

    I’m giving myself a jillion points—that was tough.
