I will gladly take that 1st generation Nomad!

But what is the name of the clothing store on the corner?

[Bill Fuller]

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.)

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)...

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.

Nudelman's was a 440 SW 4th SW 4th & Washington

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.

Thanks, you have excellent eyes (or memory).

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.
