  1. Only one of these things I am happy to see gone from Hopkinton! At least a few of us saved some useful pieces of the billboards for historic preservation and use, I’m not sure HDTC has any “historically valuable “ parts left or worth saving.

  2. What year was this photo from? I’m not familiar with that vintage car. Guessing 1960’s? Someone must know.

  4. First car looks like my grandmother’s 1962 Chevy Impala *why I looked) and the last car looks like a 1970 Ford Country Squire, so I suspect early 1970s.
