I believe that this vintage black and white gem is from somewhere around 1958/1959.
Here's a color 1959 shot for comparison:
In this shot, a Golden 20 Ticket Book is now available for purchase - what a value!
Another interesting thing about the 1959 color image is that I have never seen the Kalamazoo Handcar anyplace other than dead center in front of the station. Here, you can see it off to the left.
See more vintage and current Disneyland entrance photos on my Disneyland entrance web page.
Beautiful B&W. People sure looked in better physical shape back then.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great eye to be able spot the Handcar in a different position.
Brings back great memories of that moment when your mom or dad handed your brand new ticket book.
