I first saw these shadows during my first eclipse. I'm not sure what year. I looked at NASA charts and I there was one in 1959 and the other was 1960, meaning I was 4 or 5. I was thinking I was older, like 6 or 7 because I started knowing my cars about then.

Anyway, it was in Maryland and we were on Sligo Creek Parkway, near Washington, DC, and I saw those crescents dancing on the trunk of the mid-50s Buick ahead of us. That vision was deeply planted as I can still see it today
