Brattleboro, Vermont, 1965

More highway openings in Vermont. I’ll never tire of them. This time, it’s the opening of Interstate 91 near Brattleboro, courtesy of the Vermont Landscape Change program. As you can see, the local television station showed up, and there’s a school bus for the dignitaries, and plenty of motorists anxious to drive the new highway have gathered. But it appears they did something else that fine August 11, 1965…

… they invited some local veteran cars to christen the new stretch. So what do you see here? And do you suppose the people driving the then-modern cars would ever believe we’d someday appreciate those cars just as they then appreciated the veteran cars?
