The local historical society put this up on FaceBook. It’s the aftermath of 1954's Hurricane Carol, a storm so destructive its name was retired.

I believe the photographer is standing at the dot here looking out towards the ocean. You can make out waves breaking over the jetty (which is a good 4 feet above normal high tide I might add) off in the distance.

Best guess, ca. 1938 Dodge or Plymouth.

Wow; I didn’t know the Internet cached satellite images that far back.

I’m an educator and six or 8 years ago, when I was in charge of producing the high school yearbook where I worked, a lady contacted me and asked me to post pictures of the inside of the old school which had been torn down in the 70s. I said, “They don’t exist.” She said, “Find them on the Internet.”

Yep, my thoughts as well.   Probably a Plymouth due to lack of chrome, and if so it might be a ‘37 given the side strake up front.

I know you jest, but I’ve been quite surprised at the quantity of mid-20th century aerial photos available online. Unfortunately I can’t find the site I spent a few hours browsing a year ago  looking at places I’ve lived, but there are multiple such resources out there.
