Does anybody recognize where this picture was taken? This is my dads old car from when he was a kid and he is trying to locate it to buy it back. Any help is appreciated

Looks like a spot beside Gaetz in Red Deer.

Might help if it was bigger. Looks like a Cenotaph or historical monument on the sidewalk there.

I think its an electrical box. And that looks like a courthouse or one of the older buildings near it in Red Deer to me, been a couple years since I've lived there. Also, looks like a 2 or 3 lane road with those cars beside each other, and it's one way, so I'm still thinking Gaetz

Yup ^ . . .
Can't tell much from that ^ mini-photo, other than the license plate # appears to have been blotted out. It looks like a gravel lot, but you can't even make out what the signs in the background say.
Is this really worth pursuing?

I'm pretty sure it isn't Red Deer. There is street signs on the traffic light pole though, so a bigger photo might be helpful.

The town will help in narrowing down where to start looking for the owner. We have been looking all over Alberta for it for 20 years now. My Dad sold it when he was a kid and would really like to have it back now.

How do you know that photo in post 1 is in Alberta, or even Canada?

It's Edmonton at 105 st and 104ave looking north towards Grant Macewan college at the old Healy Ford lot.
The photo came from here:

9th Annual Healy Ford "All Ford Classic Show" ???? July 14, 2007????
If you want me to find the owner for you there will a substantial fee involved.

I think there might be some privacy laws that won't allow them to give that kind of information out.

I'm a farmer from Athabasca.
I have been accused a few of times of being this Chris guy by some of the less intelligent. I've seen a few guys get accused of the same thing.
