Apart from some signage changes and the vintage autos on the street, this view east on NE Sandy at Wasco Street looks much the same today as it did in 1950.

Interesting – I was hoping I’d one day see a photograph of this section of Sandy. If you look just beyond the Buick sign, you’ll see the peak of a white house (with the chimney on the side of the house) in what is now a used car lot. That house was moved in the late 1950′s and is now located on the corner of 42nd and Stark.

Is that Buick sign still there? It is in the link Dave Brunker provided, but it you move closer to it in Street View it changes to a sign for the Timberline Tire Factory.

I think Breslin was one of the many small dealers that got their franchise revoked by GM during the “restructuring”.

The picture is no earlier than 1953. There is a 1954 Buick in it.
