Vintage shots from days gone by!

First 'Vette I saw was at L.A. Motorama in 1953, hood open you could see the triple carb manifold on the 6 cyl. engine.

 

I had a bunch of those but the color wasn't copper... they were all Rust!

 

This one can't be that old. It says "on Facebook" painted on the car!

 

No Roger, it's definitely still there - it's on the corner of Milligan St and Wellington St - Fluor are the current tenants

 

Clyde Beatty and Hoot Gibson beside a 1937 Studebaker in Jacksonville, FL, in October 1938 getting ready for the Robbins Circus tour.

 

A great way to improve an already good looking ragtop !!!

 

I believe that is Dorothy Malone. What a dish!!!

 

Yes sir she is a class act from the top to the bottom !!!

She was standing in the right line as she got the whole package !!!

 

Atlantic City

 

Barre, VT

 

Ever notice how much the early McDonald's restaurant buildings looked like the exact same building that the Carvel Ice Cream people used to have?
That is because when McDonald's started they asked Tom Carvel if they could use his plans for their burgers and fries building and he let them. True Story
Jimbo

 

You're right. I can see that.

 

Looks like a knife and gun club.

 

Anyone know more about this race car? It's hard to believe the body stayed on it, eh? Gary

 

I think it's an old photo with a clever watermark.

 

what with the dive mask in the lower left?

 

Back with another pile! This time thanks to the archives of the University of Wisconsin at Madison, the USC Digital Library, and high school yearbooks from the Chicago area, western Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and many more.
I've added the "H.A.M.B. Vintage Shots CBC" NOT to take credit for others' work but to help avoid repeat postings so we can keep this thread fresh for all to enjoy. Eleven parts tonight starting with the SoCal New Year's flood of 1932/33:
