I was showing my California grandkids what it was like in Chicago when I was their age and was explaining snow. So I pulled up a some pictures from the great snowstorm of 1979 and guess which vehicle is actually driving down the road?

That picture would look late '60's to me. I don't see any 70's vintage rides.

Might be from the 1968 snow storm, but it was listed as from the 1979 one. Maybe from the poorer south side.

I would guess '68 as well - the 50s cars I see in that pic were likely all rusted to bits by '79. The Scout was probably well-rusted by then too!

Maybe, but Scouts wipers were on the bottom. This sure looks like the top to me. But now that I'm looking at the grill, no turn signals. hmmm.... We'll never know.
