Nacogdoches has come unstuck in time

For anyone who happened to make it by the Hotel Fredonia in Nacogdoches this past weekend, it was very easy to imagine what it would have been like when the hotel opened back in 1955. And guess who went over, early, to photograph the scene and pretend as if there was nothing unusual about having a parking lot full of cars from a vanished time?

The Early Ford V-8 Club decided to hold their annual meet-up here, in Nacogdoches, as opposed to their usual meeting place in Houston.

Please pardon the 15 second commercial at the beginning.

Again, not really being a car guy (although it was impossible to deny the coolness of these), I wanted it to be as if I was simply taking pictures of the Hotel Fredonia on a typical day back in the 1950s. The hotel's Facebook page has actual pictures of the cars for anyone who is interested.
