Hi
I found this photo taken of the Pike's Peak Summit House parking lot circa 1959-1960 on The Old Motor site. Sightseeing tour operators kept fleets of used Cadillac 75 seven passenger sedans and limousines to ferry customers touring the mountain. The red and white '59 Cadillac in the background was one of the custom Skyview Sightseers by Superior operated by the Broadmoor Hotel
Were we to find a photo taken 5-7 years earlier, bets we would see many used '48-'50 Super Eight lwb cars as sightseeing tour fleet cars.
Note there is only one Packard, a '55 Clipper sedan among the group but also a Borgward station wagon!
