New Orleans 1960’s. My older sisters and Princess the cat.
They went all over Europe on it (from the UK). My Dad says he still remembers how uncomfortable the ride down to the South of France was. My Mum also used to tell a story about the time they had a rather boozy lunch in Italy on a steep hill and he accelerated away a bit fast and left her sitting in the road when she went flying off the back!

Hello everyone,
In 2002 I was visiting Montreal, Canada and I found some photo albums on a bench near McGill University. At the time I made some lost and found posters but had no luck. I've been trying on and off over the years to reunite them with their owner by posting in various places (with no success). I've come to suspect that the black and white photos are from Vietnam and recently shared them in some Vietnamese subs and someone there suggested I try here. Awesome sub by the way. I'm an instant fan.

All the best,

Update: Thank-you for all the wonderful suggestions everyone. I wanted to give you an update. So far I have reached out to three Vietnamese Canadian Newspapers, the McGill Alumni association, r/McGill, and the Canadian Vietnamese Society. I also posted at r/whatisthiscar in the hopes of narrowing down the location of the car photo. Thank-you to everyone who was dm'ed me with suggestions and advice. The search continues and I will keep posting updates here as I work through the suggestions.
