The sign for the no-longer-extant Witte Hardware Company makes this late 1950s photo (which we spotted on Blog dos Carros Antigos) rather easy to place – St. Louis, Missouri, just south of the Eads Bridge, looking away from that city’s most famous landmark. Indeed, Missouri used yellow-on-black license plates – as we see on at least a couple of the cars in the photo – from 1956 to 1961. So all that’s left now is to identify the cars in the photo. What do you see here? And for bonus points, what is America’s Premium Quality Beer?
