Let's ship the Buick!

Another great photo that came to us through Mahmoud Ezeldin from Egypt. A country of which the tourist industry greatly suffers under whatever the modern times have brought. With Mahmoud we hope that things change for the better soon, although scenes like what we see above are definitely from a time that never will return. With a vivid photo like this we always wonder what would have happened with the car. Is the 1947 Buick Roadmaster Convertible still in Egypt? Or did it return to where it came from. We spotted another one hired for harbour duties at another location, not crazy far from Egypt. Check IMCDB. 
A second photo was taken at almost the same spot in Alexandria. Looks like in the same minute, but in fact it's three years later. People saying farewell from the quay in the Alexandria harbour. Have fun identifying the line up at the quay.
