Presume you're referring to the green '56 Chev wagon on the right.
NOT a Nomad. It's a "210" - the middle series. The "150" was lowest price series. Bel Air was highest price series. The Nomad was a special model of Bel Air. All Nomad's had only two doors. The green wagon has four doors (and other ID that it's not a Nomad).
Men's store on the corner...is that where Rosenblatt's was?? (Dave will know.)
The sign says Oregon City Woolen Stores Virgin Wool Clothes For Men & Women.The clothing sign is actually behind the PLAZA sign. On the corner was Sherman Clay music store and the Bonfire Restaurant.
I had doubts the sign had anything to do with store below but could not read sign clearly to be sure. Thanks to Joe for "reading" the sign.
Now convinced the store is Fahey Brockman, a mens clothing store from days of old.
In 1964 when this picture was taken Rosenblatts was located at 715 SW Washington, but when the Bank of California Building was built ( Union Bank Tower now) at Broadway & Washington Rosenblatts relocated to 601 SW Alder in November 1966.
I will gladly take that 1st generation Nomad!
But what is the name of the clothing store on the corner?

Thanks for clarification on Nomad nomenclature. Beautiful regardless.
At first glanceI thought the store was Nudelman's, but from what is readable on the sign that is not correct (nor is Rosenblatts either)...
