Thanks, guys! I think nighttime is the best part of summer.

Hey Lisa, your City looks like THE place to be on a lovely summer night...and what better way to enjoy it then cruising around in that gorgeous car, with your gorgeous girls!

Lisa · 15 July 2012, 04:47 AM

Thanks, Michelle. OKC's doing better these days than it was right after the oil bust. As for the girls, we'll just pretend they weren't bickering at each other most of the time. "She's touching me!" "I'm hot!" "She's got her legs on my side!" "Stop poking me!" "I want the front seat!" "Why can't we have french fries?"

I lived their right before the bust.....Penn Square Bank....went bust from bad oil and gas loans was the start i think.
Is Penn Square Bank and Shepards mall still around?
One was pretty new and one was old I just cant remember which was which.

Yep. Penn Square is still there and thriving (BC Clark, a Rolex AD, is still there) and a newish Cheesecake Factory. Penn Square is an enclosed, two level mall now. Were you here when it was one level, and open-air?

Shepherd Mall has been converted into office space. Houses some gov't agencies and insurance cos.

I can still sing the B.C. Clark Jingle after all these years!

Magical photos! I have to say it again!

STEELINOX · 15 July 2012, 11:26 AM

I just love your Falcon missy.

My grandad had one a few years newer...

Yours is "jelly bean love" !

gmh1013 · 15 July 2012, 12:02 PM

One is where they Wyatt wants to get a room but when he see's that he got long hair and then turns on the no vacancy sign
The other is where the Esso gas station was but has been torn down and a brick building is in its place.
These are on the old U.S. 66 in summer of 2005
Some Guy told me that 4-5 people a day come around looking for where Easy Rider was filmed.

Thanks. 1963 was the last year for the rounded body style. In '64 they became pretty squarish - but still great looking cars, especially the convertibles.

That's a movie I have yet to see... but will, especially after seeing the pics.

Rain Man was filmed along Rt. 66, too - some of it was shot in Guthrie and El Reno. The set makers even created an aged looking neon sign and put it on an old motel in El Reno, and last I heard it's still there.

Easy Rider is about two hippies.....who are not violent.....and become victims
at the hands of rednecks

R.W. is more like a death wish movie with Charles Bronson

Wonderful pictures and I must say that they make Oklahoma city look a lot more interesting that I would have thought!
