The new neighbors got a tour of OK City in an apparently new '55 Chevrolet complete with a continental kit. That's an American Airlines, Douglas DC-6B taxing in at 4:48 followed by a Braniff International Airways, Convair 340. Nice look back at Oklahoma City in the mid 1950s (gosh I miss the oil derricks that used to be around much of the city). Thanks for sharing!
