Jantzen Factory

Notes
Here’s the Jantzen Factory down by the Port of Hood River. We discussed it Monday when we saw an earlier version of the Jantzen diving woman. Hopefully Dale can date the cars. I’m guessing 1980?

Interesting photo with all Toyota vehicles in this photo.
The pick up is around 1973 Hilux and both cars are Celica Liftbacks…..they look very similar to the Ford Mustang fastbacks.
Pat A
Definitely Toyota celica Just like the 1976 my brother brand new. Dale I think That’s a Datsun 620 pickup.
Dale Nicol
Pat, that’s a possibility as both body styles are quite similar. One thing that would favor the Datsun is they offered a longer wheelbase for a 7′ bed…..this might be that model??

We have never had a finer lot of the very best swimming suits that the market affords. Jantzen, Webfoot and Columbia Knit Suits. There’s nothing better anywhere. Made right, fit right look the best and our prices are the lowest.
