To honor Cleveland's WWII veterans, a stretch of highway was first known as the Memorial Shoreway, the first east-west freeway in Greater Cleveland. Known officially as the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway (a section of I-90), it closely follows the shore of Lake Erie and connects the east and west sides of Cleveland via the Main Avenue Bridge over the Cuyahoga River. The 1960 illustration is by Peter Helck (1893-1988). Best known for his automobile paintings, note his inclusion of a current model Buick and Ford Falcon. But the Ford Thunderbird, center, is not brand new as a 1960 model has six taillights. You may note the red 1960 Chevrolet left of center and the burgundy Chrysler product at the far left going in the opposite direction.
