Sinop, main street in 1970 (090 r)

Street scene in Sinop. Note that in the center of the picture is what looks like a new 1956 Chevrolet, though this picture was taken in about 1970. My understanding was that Turkey bought body molds of older American cars and produced them, all with using some sort of standard engine and transmission that might not have been related to the original model. Thus a taxi might be what appeared to be brand new car from the U.S. from 10 or 15 years before.

Pictures in this set (Military Years) are from when I was in the military, from 1967-1970. All photos were originally slides, a friend spent very many hours restoring those slides to being viewable. Best viewed as part of the Military Years set.
