1955 Chevrolet Corvette V8 Waterfront Car Show, Bellingham Washington

1948 Ford Convertible Car show at a small Ford dealer in Lynden Washington. Some time in 1947 the parking lights were moved from above the grille to the side. I don't know but suspect it was because turn signals became an option and the lights needed to be where they would be useful.
