(Pic) The automobile parked at the town hall.

The car is a 1954 Ford Customline two door sedan.

Thanks, Bob ! I couldn't decide which car this might be.

Here is another image in Riverside from perhaps the mid-1960's showing a Ford sedan driving perhaps a block or so away from where the other image was taken.

love those old everyday life pics, thanks Mike

You're welcome ! I didn't take these photographs as I was too young to know what part of the camera to point at the subject.

However, I was undoubtedly just a kid a block or so away at my parents house when someone actually did snap these photos !  

Cool old and nostalgic photos! Incredible buildings!  

Thanks, Tony ! Lol, here is the same view a decade or so later. I see an old Chevy and a couple Mercurys). Of course, today the view would be ....... exactly the same ! (except for a summer cruise night, in which case it WOULD be exactly the same.)  

@michaeldetorrice Much better in color! 

@bob-jackman Good eye Bob!

Once again I get the twinge to hop into that elusive time machine and set the dial to 1955!  Lol

@geoff-jowett +1.

@michaeldetorrice What a fabulous building.

Thanks ! It is a pretty cool town hall building from so long ago. There are also a couple of Frank Lloyd Wright homes in town and the Riverside street plan was done by circa 1868 by landscape designer Fredrick Law Omstead and is studied in universities as a village specifically designed to fit into it's natural setting.
